The weekend kicks off early with some really great events on Thursday. Friday and Saturday don’t disappoint either with their respective line-ups. Actually, it is weekend full of events for every personality: Party People have Mardi Gras Events to enjoy. Families have pet parades and zoo Funday Sunday. Civically inclined have a meeting to attend. And the socially gregarious have way too much to choose from. I’ll see you all out and about this weekend.
