21 Days Until Spring…But Who’s Counting? Me!
Hope is on the horizon. What a difference a day or two makes...clear, blue skies and a sun beaming its love in our direction today. And hopefully, with Spring only 21 days away (yes, I am counting), maybe Mother Nature is on an up-swing with her mood. We probably haven't seen the last gloomy day of winter yet, but let's enjoy this weekend while we can. If you've been cooped up far too long and are in desperate need of some fun to shake off the gray clouds in your head, check out the Event Calendar and start making some plans to do just that!
Lots of stuff lined up to do this weekend and a really good variety to choose from. If you're in the mood for sporty type stuff, check out the NFCA NAIA Leadoff Classic Softball Tournament at the South Commons Softball Complex--it'll be some of the best fastpitch softball you've ever seen, or for something completely different, head to the corner of 14th Street and Broadway Saturday morning for the VIP Bed Race--and if you're saying to yourself..."Bed Race?" Yep, it's exactly what you're thinking! Teams have come together to fashion the most creative beds and they'll be racing them in the street! It's all to the benefit Valley Interfaith Promise--a great organization here in Columbus. Or maybe pile the kids in the car and take the short trek to FDR State Park for their Dr. Seuss Read Across America and Costume Contest. You'll hear lots of great stories, see some creative costume designs and it's really great that the admission charged for this is only two canned goods per person for the local food bank.
If you want to keep the fun indoors, you're in luck. RiverCenter for the Performing Arts will play host to comedian Kathleen Madigan on Friday night, the Broadway classic Jekyll & Hyde Saturday evening, and the annual CSU Guitar Symposium going on all weekend long. Or if you're in need of musical comedy, then the Springer Opera House may just be your ticket. I'm hearing from lots of folks that this is one of the best productions the Springer has ever done...and that's high praise indeed!
Don't worry about the weather...just enjoy the weekend!
