It’s Friday, and you’ve got no idea what you’ll do for the weekend.
You're time-pressed enough, so we're happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go for adults and kids, both locally and within reasonable striking distance.
This weekend, we're suggesting some live music, game night at the mall, a S.T.O.P. collection day, a defensive driving class, a grand opening, a farmers market, a car wash, and a piano recital.
