Afternoon Observer: Feb. 26 Kristen Kornbluth, The Charlotte Observer Feb. 26—Happy Friday, Charlotte. Kristen here, realizing I spoke too soon about the nice weather yesterday as I glance at the upcoming forecast. Will you be spending your rainy weekend at home? Or will you venture out into the water-logged outdoors? Let me know what you're thinking of doing. Let's talk about today's news: 1. Vaccine events in Mecklenburg this weekend North Carolina is currently offering vaccines to health care workers, residents and staff at long-term care facilities and anyone age 65 and up. On Feb. 24, the state opened up vaccine appointments to educators, including child care workers, K-12 teachers and school support staff. So where can you get a vaccine if you're eligible?
