16 Things To Do This Weekend (Sep. 08 – Sep.-10)

image_pdfimage_print

Outside of a little rain on Sunday, what a pleasant weekend we have in store in term of temperatures. We will hover around what is in my opinion the perfect temperature: 70 degrees. The mornings and evenings will be conducive to either rallying around a bonfire or snuggling with your favorite person or people…or furry friend. Sunday’s rain? Just a passing shower – otherwise it will be a sunny day.

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?
