Weekend: June 26, 27, 28

  • By Dustin Bartholomew · Friday, Jun 26, 2009 

Good news everybody. It’s Friday. Better news, tomorrow’s Saturday, and the best news, next week only has four days in it, and then we get an extra day of chillin’ ’cause next weekend starts on Thursday. (For some people, anyway)

To recap, it’s weekend (awesome), four day work week (nawesome), three day weekend (bonkin’!)

Today, starting at 7:00 am through 4:30 this afternoon, you can get some delicious baked goods at Hope, Inc.. If you’re not familiar with Hope, they help people going through cancer treatments in Northwest Arkansas, and they’re just plain awesome people. Plus, who doesn’t like baked goods? Nazi’s, that’s who.

Dive in Movies start tonight at the Wilson Park Pool. Tonight’s movie is Horton Hears a Who Kung Fu Panda. Cool it. With a movie.

It’s also Pride Week in Fayetteville, and there are tons of Pride Week activities happening this weekend, starting tonight. There’s a screening of the film “For the Bible Tells Me So” at the Jones Center with a reception at 6:00, and the film starting about 7:00.

Pride week events start tomorrow with a Fun Run on the Skull Creek Trail at 8:00, a Pride Parade at 10:00, a picnic at 11:00 at Agri Park, and some movies tomorrow night at Tymythy’s Salon at 7:30. Don’t forget to take some pictures.

The Farmers Market is tomorrow too (duh). We’re planing on taking some Flyer t-shirts down to the Fayetteville Visitors Center for those of you who haven’t got one yet, and we’ll have some free stickers and buttons too. Stop by and say hello.

Also tomorrow, don’t forget that the Walton Arts Center will be having a one day 1/2 price sale on season tickets to their Broadway series.

Tunes-wise, there’s a big bluegrass show at George’s tonight with Big Smith, and Crazy Neighbor is at Smoke and Barrel.

Tomorrow night, LeAnn Rimes will be at the AMP singing some country music.

I’m also pretty pumped about the Damn Bullets and Cletus Got Shot show at Smoke and Barrel, and there’s an NWA Rollergirls benefit at the Gypsy on College with The Incurables, Hosta, David’s Pegasus, and The ROX.

There’s a big-ole list of all this stuff, plus a ton of other stuff below. What are you guys doing this weekend?
