It's the Weekend: Here's Some Fun

It's going to be a glorious Saturday. Cooler than yesterday, when it was 98 degrees, a record for September 24th.  Saturday will be warm, but only in the mid-80s, and a bit breezy, too. (The UV index is going to be 7, so don't forget your sunscreen.)  If you're wondering what to do today, here are three events that will be lots of fun.  Enjoy the weekend!
