Welcome to the weekend before Memorial Day Weekend! Whooo hoooo! The weather will be gloriously hot this weekend, well into the 90’s. I am not sure if you are as excited about the hot weather as I am but what this means is perfect weather for some beach, pool and/or lake action!! The weekend is full of activities, especially on Saturday. I encourage you to review my list of events as well as Google and/or other blogs. There are no excuses to be in the house bored this weekend. There is plenty to do both indoor and outdoor. Activities this weekend include: drag brunches and dinner, movie night, music events, festivals, block party, 5K marathons, Yoga and exercise, clean-up and other community events, UK rally, community fundraisers, and much more! I am personally excited about the annual Cuban Festival taking place Saturday 1PM at A Piece of Havana!
There are plenty of events going on this weekend to choose from…Please pick the event(s) that are just right for you and your family! Enjoy, have fun, and enjoy the weekend!
