You can tell Spring is in the air…and I don’t just mean the pollen!
After coming off a not-so-pleasant winter, I'll take the nuisance of a little bit of yellow flower dust any day of the week...besides, all this pollen will be out of here in a couple of weeks and leave behind a carpet of colorful flowers and trees heavy with bright green leaves. This is the kind of weather that beckons you to go outside and play, find some fun stuff going on under the sun. Looks like this weekend is shaping up to be just that with a plate-full of events that will have you clamoring to get out of the house and enjoy doing something a little different.
Kick the weekend off tonight (Mar 27) at FDR State Park in Pine Mountain with a cool twist on the traditional Easter egg hunt. This one is called the "Night Eggstravaganza" and you guessed it...it's a nighttime egg hunt, so make sure the kids bring their Easter baskets and a flashlight for this nocturnal hunt! They'll also have a Petting Corrale, an Easter Hat Parade and Contest (you can decorate one before you get there or do it on site) and you can have your kids picture made with Roosevelt Bunny! Just south of Columbus, there's a lot to choose from like the Sisters in Science event at Westville all day Saturday, or a guided Geology Hike at Providence Canyon State Park. This is the perfect time of year to lace up your hiking boots and check out the sites in that series of canyons...beautiful! Head north of town Saturday night to Callaway Gardens for their Singer-Songwriters Night. They'll have four very different performers and what makes this night special is that each singer will give you the story behind the song and then, of course, play it for you. You'll be under the stars at the ski pavilion on Robin Lake Beach so talk about the perfect spot for some acoustic music!
If you need to take a break from all that fresh air, don't forget about No Shame Theatre at the Springer Opera House or the more family-friendly performance...Showtime at The LibertyTheatre tonight, a show full of good, clean, fun with singing, dancing, comedy and more!
That's a lot of info so to make sure you get all the details on these and lots of other things going on, check out the Event Calendar and start planning your weekend!
