What's that old saying about "April Showers?"  Whoever coined that phrase sure got it right this week.  I'm certainly no meteorolgist, in fact I'm not even sure if I spelled it correctly, but looks like we're taking care of any rain deficit we had this year.  So we're all in agreement that we need the rain, but why, oh why did it have to rain out most of the outdoor activities this weekend?  Guess timing is everything, but not to worry, they've already rescheduled one of the big festivals that was set for this weekend, Frogtown Hollow Jam, moving it to next weekend (April 24 & 25).

And lest your spirits be dampened by the downpours and deluges (bad pun but it had to be done), there's still plenty of indoor fun on the horizon.  Just did a little research on the Event Calendar, and found a pretty impressive list of inside events you might want to look into.  The Springer Opera House just opened a show this week called "Why, Baby, Why?  The Music of George Jones and Tammy Wynette."  And man, what an opening...first night--SOLD OUT!  So my suggestion would be to call post haste and order your tickets before more shows sell out.  And for a little comedy relief, there's No Shame Theatre which takes place every Friday night beginning at 10:30 and admission is only $5.  The beauty of this show is that it's never the same thing twice and you never know what you might see on stage!

Across the street at RiverCenter for the Performing Arts, you've got a choice of a performance of "The Great Gatsby" Saturday night or on Sunday, the Schwob School of Music at CSU is offering all sorts of musical options with anything from a Choral Concert, Horn, Trombone and Guitar Studio Recitals...whatever kind of music you like, chances are they'll have something for you.

The Liberty Theatre has a production underway called "Vengeance:  A Gospel Stage Play."  Hearing a lot of good buzz about this one and why not...anything with vengeance and gospel in the title has got to be interesting!

If you're in an artsy mood, check out all the happenings at the Columbus Museum with their "Let There Be Art" event.  They've got tons of stuff planned all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

And just the short drive up to La Grange to Hills & Dales Estate, you'll find an Ivy Topiary workshop taking place on Saturday, so you guys with the green thumbs will love hearing what these master gardeners have to share with you.  Sure wish I wasn't a plant-killer.

Whatever you do this weekend, stay safe, have fun and try and stay dry!
