Time’s A-Wasting! Let’s get this holiday weekend started!
It's a good thing we have a long, 3-day weekend ahead of us, because one look at the Event Calendar and all the fun stuff going on, it's going to take us at least 3 days to get it all in. Truth be told, I could be talked into taking Tuesday off just to rest up from this weekend! So what's all going on? Two words. A. Lot! The best advice I can give you is to take a look at the Calendar and start making some plans. You can kick it off tonight with what plans to be a one heck of a concert and party in Uptown with Classic Addict on stage and of course the highlight of the evening will be the return of Scott Ressmeyer and his Miracle Riders as they ride back into Columbus. The concert starts at 7:00pm, but this is one you definitely want to get there early for.
And who says you have to drive 3 or 4 hours to get to the beach?! You can hop in your car and be at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world at Callaway Gardens and enjoy the 55th Master Water Ski and Wakeboard Tournament all weekend long. If you want to enjoy a little all-American softball action, check out the 34th Annual NAIA Softball National Championship at South Commons...head to Historic Westville for a very realistic re-enactment of the 1836 Creek Indian War...and there's Run for the Heroes--a 260 mile race across Georgia that finishes up late Sunday afternoon in Uptown with a big party--and we're all invited to celebrate this accomplishment!
And lest we forget what this weekend is really all about, make sure you find time on Saturday to head to the National Infantry Museum. You can relive May 1943 as WWII historians, Kelly’s Zeroes step back in time to show you what life was like for our Soldiers during the war. You will even get the rare chance to participate in the living history event on the historical World War II Company Street! Then you can go inside the Museum and cool off in the IMAX Theatre and see the brand new 3-D film called "D-Day: Normandy 1944." Got a chance to see it earlier this week and it is so well done and will keep you mesmerized the entire 45 minutes.
Looks like there's plenty to do between cookouts and pool parties! Be safe....
