Daily Five: Game Night, Basketball Breakfast

Five things to know for Friday Feb. 17, 2012

1. Today's forecast, according to noaa.gov, calls for our favorite kind of fog ("patchy"): A chance of rain or drizzle before 10am, then a chance for drizzle before ending. Patchy fog before 10am. Otherwise, cloudy through mid morning, then gradual clearing, with a high near 48. Southwest wind 7 to 11 mph becoming northwest. Chance of precipitation is 40 percent.

2. On Wednesday, Foxwoods Resort Casino had a ceremony marking its 20th anniversary. The Patch sites in southeastern Connecticut ran a poll asking locals if they go to either Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun. Forty-two percent of the 187 respondents said they don't go to the casino. Thirty-two percent said they go, but not to gamble. Patch reader LB posted he/she goes to Mohegan Sun "Only for Krispy Kreme and nothing more." Check for Patch's Poll at 4 p.m., every Monday-Friday.

3. Holdridge's posted on Ledyard Patch's Facebook about the President's Day blood drive they are holding. Have you liked Holdridge's Facebook page? Have you liked Ledyard Patch's?
