The Weekender Is Not Baaaashful About Coming In Like A Lamb
The cold snap is finally over but as we all know if March comes in like a lamb it is sure to go out like a lion so we need to take advantage of these nice days now. You can get in the old standbys like walking your dog, hitting the trails at Quarry Park, or taking a bike ride. The winter high school sports tournament snowstorm is just around the corner, right?
There are of course some new movies hitting theaters this week including Bill Murray's latest Riff Raff, a comedy about hitmen and family. There is also the movie based on the real dive team starring Woody Harrelson, Last Breath. Plus the animated kids' movie A Sloth Story (who doesn't love the slowest animal the sloth), and the strange My Dead Friend Zoe starring Mr. Easy Reader himself, Morgan Freeman.
If that is not enough for you The Weekender has four suggestions to get you out locally and one road trip activity. You can always gear up for Fat Tuesday (March 4th) as well and throw a pre-Mardi Gras party. If you have an event or know of one you want included in The Weekender email us here.
