image_pdfimage_print

Blarg. Rain all weekend? Yes. Everything from drizzle to a “little” rain to “periods” of rain. A bit vague coming from the weatherfolks, but suffice it to say that it will generally be overcast and wet for the vast majority of the weekend. If, of course, the forecast is spot on. Temperature-wise we’ll be locked into a 10 degree window all weekend – between 55-65degrees morning, day and night, with the exception of Sunday which will get close to 69 degrees.

As always, click on the title for more or detailed information on the event. Most of the events were pulled from our event calendar where you can find hundreds of local area events each month. The event calendar is FREE, so if you are a local business, and not taking advantage of FREE publicity, shame on you! Are you a local business and want to sponsor this high traffic, weekend guide?
