You need plans. Fat City has a recycle bin full of listings. In this post, all our problems are solved.
Sadly, there is no great Missouri Ocean. And yet you can still enjoy a glass of wine by the sea -- by the Inland Sea Winery, that is. The West Bottoms winery holds tastings on Fridays between 4 and 7 p.m. at 1600 Genessee, Suite 160.
Used to be, the only way you could experience Waterfire
was if you went to Providence, Rhode Island. You no longer have to take
an airplane. You can enjoy gondola rides on Brush Creek this Saturday for the free arts event that's literally fire on top of
water. As soon as it's dusk, Waterfire is open for business and it runs
until midnight. Steak lovers take note: Capitol Grille and the Plaza
III Steakhouse join Brio and Houston's as the food vendors for the
Plaza event.
You've also got two chances to help someone else this weekend. The first is for barbecue lovers and poker players. The Delta Battery Armory is holding a Poker Run and Cookout benefit on Saturday for the families and soldiers of the 1/129th FA Delta Battery. Registration is at 9 a.m. with a cookout scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $20.
The Historical Hauntings and Harvesters Food Drive is also set for Saturday in Old Shawnee Town. There are free hay rides, face painting, and costume contests; all you need is a few cans of food to donate to Harvesters for admission.
Always wanted to learn about urban farming but never knew where to start? Bad Seed Farm has two events at its Crossroads space with best-selling author Novella Carpenter (Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer) this weekend. On
Saturday from 6 to 7:30 p.m., Carpenter discusses her book and the
history of urban farming, and offers consultations to those interested
in starting their own farms. Tickets are $10 at the door.
Here are a couple of food and drink offers you can take advantage of around town. Old Shawnee Pizza
continues to sell Shiner Bock bottled beer for just $1 -- it's a
special they'll have until their beer supply runs out, so take
advantage of a perfectly acceptable cheap beer while it's here. A
Shiner Bock would go nicely with The Record Bar's new lunch special: chili cheese tater tots.
