Generally speaking, we’re in for another mild weekend. Nights will be slightly cold, with Sunday overnight dropping to a low 12 degrees. Other than that, we will enjoy very mild temperatures with a blistering, balmy, hot 51 degrees on Saturday. Of course, we can’t have it all, so on the warmest day of the weekend we will likely experience a shower in the morning. However, once it passes, the day is ours!!!

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?
