If you’re one of those of people who would rather do anything but watch football on Super Bowl Sunday, we have suggestions for a leisurely football-free day. Here are a few ideas for those of you who won’t be found at a sports bar having a friendly discussion about who's team is better than who's.
Wine Tasting
For those who prefer wine to sitting by the TV watching with a beer watching the game.
- : Attend the Weekend Concert Series from 3 to 5 p.m. This Sunday music features James Harris. No cover charge.
- Jonathan Edwards Winery: Take a tour of the North Stonington vineyard and learn making wine from vine to bottle. Tour starts at 3 p.m. and is usually hosted by Mr. Edwards himself.
Sunday Brunch
Enjoy a leisurely Sunday Brunch instead of game day food.

Classic Movie Night
Rent your favorite old movies, pop some popcorn, settle into the couch and forget all about football. Here are a few of my favorites.
- “Barquero:” This 1970 western will make you forget what football is.
- “Maltese Falcon:” This 1941 film staring Humphrey Bogart as a private investigator.
- “Funny Face:” Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire inn the 1957 musical comedy. What more needs to be said.
Indoor Volleyball
Play a game that invokes thoughts of warmer days.
- The Sandbox offers Sunday afternoon at the beach. Courts available for drop in and all levels welcome.
Yoga
If you live in a house where football will be on, you may need to tap into your inner chi.
- High Street Yoga: Afternoon Yoga in Westerly with Elena at 4 p.m.
- : Power Vinyasa with Krystal Kornegay at 6 p.m.
