Ahhh, Valentine's Day!
School kids have been decorating boxes for the special treats they'll receive from their classmates, ladies have been planning special Galentine's events and of course, the guys are scrambling to find just the right card and the perfect floral bouquets for their sweeties.
AccessWDUN visited a few spots around Gainesville to see what Cupid has been up to for Valentine's Day 2019. We'll be adding to our photo gallery through the evening.
