Ahhh-- the weekend is upon us!!! 
I'm not quite sure who came up with the whole idea of weekends... and don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for 2 days.. but wouldn't it be nice if we could somehow extend that to 3.. and still get the day job done during a shorter workweek? I'm wondering to whom to we write to get that done?
Weekends for me are the days where if I've slacked during the week ( and that's usually the case), then I have some serious make up to do. It's not fun stuff either, mostly chores like mow the lawn, weed the Tomato plants, wash some clothes-then fold them, clean the shower, clean out the Cat Box... blah, blah blah.
That stuff gets even tougher to do when the weather is as nice as it's been. On top of that, I'm having another serious problem... there's just so much other fun stuff to tackle... I'm left thinking what's a girl to do?
So much to do, and oh so little time.
Here are some highlights for this weekend alone:
Mayfest, of course. In Downtown Tulsa. It's called International Mayfest and that's because folks come from all over to sell art, eat food and play music. It's super fun. I especially love Sunday afternoons where local kids take the stage and clog and stuff. It's also just the right price: Free... but bring some serious cash-- a corn dog will put you back 5 or 6 bucks.
Blue Dome Festival. Downtown Tulsa, Blue Dome District. As much as I love Mayfest, I love the Blue Dome Festival even more... here's why... local (some starving) artists have their chance to sell their creations. My coffee table at home ( yes, the one you can barely see because it's covered with this week's mail) came from there. It's beautiful and I love it. Got it at a great price, and have never seen anything like it. Admission is Free... and the art is affordable.
Bark in the Park: Driller's Stadium, Tulsa, Friday Night: You can't take your dog to Mayfest this year, but you can take the old boy to Driller's Stadium tonight. The Drillers take the field at 7:05pm, and man's best friend is welcome. There are even $.50 hot dogs. What Fun!
Renaissance Festival: Castle of Muskogee, Muskogee. Travel back to the days of old at the Castle of Muskogee where there are wandering Maidens and Minstrels and all the Turkey Legs you can handle. Fun for the family. For more info go to okcastle.com.
Sea Lion Splash: Bass Pro Shop, Broken Arrow: Benefits (the Sea Lions at the Tulsa Zoo). Saturday, 11am-2pm. Basically, buy a rubber ducky, and you could win big. Each duck has a number on the bottom, Labrador Retrievers jump into Uncle Buck's lake at Bass Pro and get 20 ducks...each worthy of a prize. Fun for the kids, the parents and the dogs! For more info go to Tulsazoo.org.
There's more too... Italian Festival in McAlester, Boots and BBQ in Claremore, Tulsa Symphony ... Oh-- and I can't forget some High School Graduations! Congrats Grads!!! George Flickinger will have some more events on our Weekend Morning Show on Saturday from 8-10am, so be sure to tune in to him, too if you need more options.
What did I tell you? So much to do.. so little time. However you spend it, be safe and enjoy, the weather looks fantastic.
And-- and please don't forget to write whoever it is to get that 3 day weekend thing going-- the spring festival season is just getting started.. that means there are more fun packed weekends ahead!
Warm Wishes,
Jules
