What Time Is It?  If you said it’s time to start the weekend, you are so very correct!!!

If you're wondering if there is anything to do this weekend in Columbus, GA the answer is a.) yes and b.) a lot!!  You can kick things off tonight with the First Friday Art Walk in Uptown Columbus.  Looks like it should be a great night to stroll the sidewalks along Broadway, check out some really cool art, entertainment and maybe even have a delicious dinner on your walkabout.  Things really get into gear tomorrow morning with the 3rd Annual MDA Firefighters 5K at Big Dog Running Company in Uptown, at Port Columbus they'll be telling the story of the capture of the USS Water Witch with a program called "One Ship, Two Navies, or you can head to Florence Marina State Park for one of the most fun event they do there all year...Alligator Day!  They'll have an expert on hand doing several programs throughout the day to tell you all about these prehistoric creatures, then...and this is my favorite part...you get to climb on board the pontoon boats and head out to see how many you can count sunning themselves on the riverbank or look carefully in the water and you may just see two little eyes looking back at you.  Kids of all ages, including my age, love this one!  And if you have a green thumb, or want to learn more about cultivating one, head to Columbus Botanical Garden all weekend for the Chattahoochee Valley Daylily Festival.

That's just enought info to tease you...make sure you take a look at the Event Calendar to find out more fun stuff happening in Columbus!
