16 Things To Do This Weekend (March 9 – March 10)
A pretty darn fantastic weekend is ahead for us. While the mornings are normal for winter – below freezing – the days will warm up into the 40s. Snow? Nope. Rain? Nope. Plenty of sunshine and a little bit of the wind that we’ve been getting these past few weeks on Saturday. Otherwise, if you’ve been itching to get outdoors, walk a trail, go for a hike, or just get out – this is the weekend to do it!
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?
