Whether you grew up around livestock, the 51st annual Western Farm Show takes everything that’s cool about farming (tractor pulls, oversized farm equipment, and more cowboy hats than you can imagine) and puts it all under one roof for three days. The show runs today through Sunday in the American Royal Complex, with a championship tractor pull (in Kemper Arena) each night at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $8 at the door.

Tannin Wine Bar and Kitchen (1526 Walnut) celebrates its first anniversary tonight from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The party unofficially starts during tonight's happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. when beer or wine by the glass is 25 percent off, and starters are half-price. Jazz singer Megan Birdsall will also be on hand to serenade the crowd. There's no cover.

You may be proud of the canned soup you’ve got sitting in your pantry, but you’ve got nothing on the Canstruction at Ward Parkway Center (8600 Ward Parkway). The ninth annual benefit for Harvesters features incredible structures built from actual canned foods, and they’re all on display through March 22.

Barley's Brewhaus (16659 Midland Drive) is tapping a firkin of Blushing Hop Cone — an IPA made with strawberries and vanilla by Tallgrass Brewing Co. for the Shawnee restaurant. The beer will be tapped at 4:30 p.m. today. It's $4 per pint, and the first 40 customers get a Tallgrass glass to take home.

The Weston Brewing Co. and Summit Brewing Co. are hosting a free craft-beer tasting from 5 to 7 p.m. tonight at Red X (2401 West Platte Road) in Riverside.

What have you got on tap for the weekend?
