Get Out: Make a Plan for the Weekend

So much to do this weekend. If you enjoy music, choose between the symphony, rock, country or perhaps yourself singing in front of a crowd.  There are also some great ways to give back to the community by running in a 5K, cleaning up green space or donating blood.

If you know of an upcoming event that you'd like to share with your community, let us know in the comment section below.
