Ramblings: Possible Weekend Adventures

Oak Alley will be more crowded this weekend. (Image via Wikipedia)

The other day I posted about taking some Louisiana road trips, so I decided to post some trips you might want to take this weekend.

Trash Bash Celebration: Saturday is Trash Bash in St. Charles Parish. The Trash Bash is from 8-11 followed by a celebration at the West Bank Bridge Park. We will be at the celebration helping the Wetland Watchers exhibit. Don’t worry, I will not be doing crafts at this event.

Hogs for the Cause: In City Park on Saturday, there is a one day festival to help raise money for families with children suffering from brain cancer. Amanda Shaw, Ander Osborne and the Radiators will be performing. And of course, pigs will be roasting. This event is being put on by the guys who write this blog, which should be part of your daily reading.

The Fair Grounds: I didn’t get to the fairgrounds this year, or actually any previous year for that matter. Next year, this will be remedied. This is the last weekend so if you haven’t got out there out there and you have nothing planned, you still have a shot. The Louisiana Derby is tomorrow.

20th Annual Spring Arts & Crafts Festival at Oak Alley: The title kind of says it all.

Also, Kevin Smith is doing a QA this week to show his new film Red State. Cristina and I are going. Can anybody think of any questions I can ask him?
