St. Michael’s Weekend Entertainment Guide to Brides, Fame and History.
With a holiday weekend starting today, the urge to get out is good. Despite some raindrops and clouds, the weather should cooperate if you choose to leave the city limits.
It’s Thursday, the snow’s a melting and spring is in the distant future. Mother nature is giving winter the toe pick but it’s not quite time to roll out the in-line skates. Since the interim period between seasons leaves us at a loss for action, St. Michael Patch has found a few options to get you started this weekend.
Where/When: Head over to Buffalo Community Middle School on Sunday, Feb. 20 from 10:30 a.m to 2:30 p.m.
Find out what's happening in St. Michaelfor free with the latest updates from Patch.
Why Go: Local vendors will be featured at this wedding expo; including professionals for cake, entertainment, flowers, photography and several more. Make this showcase your one stop wedding shop.
Price: $5/person however, brides can get a free pass prior to the show from vendors.

OTSEGO HISTORICAL DRIVE TOUR

Why Go: There’s live music, good food, cheap drinks and a chance to let your hear down and get a little crazy...what more could you want? But, this is NOT a kid-friendly event.
