Three things to do in & Around River City this weekend.
A few more miserable days ahead with clouds and high temps hovering around 50°, but looking ahead to next Wednesday…it seems like we’re going to creep into the mid-60’s and stay there for the rest of April!
Finally going to be able to ride the Harley on a daily basis!
Not sure what we’ll be doing this weekend. Might go see Pat McCurdy at the Showboat Saloon on Saturday night. Not really sure.
If you’re looking for something to do in the area this weekend, here’s a few suggestions:
FRIDAY – ABLE, INC. FUN NIGHT @ THE LA CRESCENT AREA EVENT CENTER
