Wanna see a cool old plane? Arkansas Air & Military Museum at Drake Field will host a tour of ‘Doc’, a B-29 that has been touring the country for exhibitions lately. The exhibit is part of a ‘warbird’ weekend at the museum, taking place April 16-18. Tickets are $15 at the gate, and free for WW2 or Korea veterans and museum members. Here’s more info.
The final weekend of the Oz Trails U.S. Pro Cup Mountain Bike Race is this Friday-Sunday at Centennial Park. In addition to the bike races, there are food trucks, beer, and kids activities and more on the mountain. Here’s more about that.
There are a few chances to see a show this weekend. You could stream TheatreSquared’s new version of Murder for Two, for example. It’ll be streaming here.
Walton Arts Center also has a new show called Natural State of Mind, featuring show tunes and more. There are two chances to see that on Saturday. Here’s ticket info.
There’s some good music to check out as well. George’s has Funk Factory on Friday night, and locals Randall Shreve and the Devilles are back in action for the first time in a while on Saturday night.
Fayetteville Roots Festival will host one of their ‘on the avenue’ shows outside their headquarters on the Fayetteville square on Saturday with the legendary Del McCoury and his band. The Friday Night show has been moved to 3 p.m. on Saturday due to the weather. There’s also a Saturday night show at 6:30 p.m. Ticket info is here.
There are a couple outdoor events scheduled for Friday night, including Dylan Earl on Mount Sequoyah as part of their Music on the Mountain Series, and DRJR, Especially Breakfast, and Dan Hicks Band are scheduled to play at Prairie Street Live. Keep an eye on the weather on those, though. These could be rained out.
The Razorback baseball team will play a series versus Texas A&M this weekend as well at Baum Stadium, though the schedule on those games might also be effected by the weather this weekend.
Also in sports, the Razorback Football team will play their annual Spring Game at Razorback Stadium at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
A handful of businesses in Fayetteville’s Trailside Village will host a fundraiser for a new medicinal herb and native plant garden. Here’s more about that.
There’s more below. Have a great weekend, everyone.
