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 lots of live music, a dinner with live music, a free car seat safety check, a babysitting job fair, a movie at the library, a murder mystery dinner, a CPR class and a walkathon.
