Things to do: Makky Kaylor birthday, Michael W. Smith concert and Super Bowl Parties

Celebrate Super Bowl weekend with an evening downtown for live music, fundraising for Harvest Share, or perhaps indulge a few slices for National Pizza Day.

1. Makky Kaylor 60th Soiree at Puckett's

The Swanky South Crooner Makky Kaylor is reaching a real milestone this weekend with his 60th birthday bash at Puckett's in downtown Columbia.

Not only will he be marking a landmark year of life, but will also be one of his first shows returning to the stage following a recent open-heart surgery. Kaylor is also celebrating becoming a grandfather for the first time and wants to do what he does best, sing and perform for the town he calls home.
