20 Things To Do This Weekend (Oct. 27 – Oct.-29)

A rather pleasant weekend is ahead in terms of temperatures. We’ll have day time temperatures between 60-68 degress with cool mornings. On Sunday there is a chance that we’ll have a “little” evening rain. There is very little in the way to stop us from enjoying all the autumn happenings. We’ll have a few more weekends before the weather turns colder and we can mention the four letter word, “snow.”

As always, click on the title for more or detailed information on the event. Most of the events were pulled from our event calendar where you can find hundreds of local area events each month. The event calendar is FREE, so if you are a local business, and not taking advantage of FREE publicity, shame on you! Are you a local business and want to sponsor this high traffic, weekend guide?
