Happy Friday everyone, I hope you're having a great week! It's been a busy one here and we've been wrestling with more plague but I'm hoping that the forthcoming warm up (according to the forecast, 60+ degrees several days in a row!) will signal the turning of a corner and the last of the winter plague. And on that, let's turn the corner towards the weekend and enjoy this roundup of 22 weekend events, lovingly curated for your consideration!
