Hey Neighbor… Easter weekend preview arrives. Lego builders converge, egg hunts multiply (for dogs AND adults), a mac & cheese festival launches, and FXBG celebrates everything from paranormal circus acts to pottery wheels to live bluegrass jams.
There's a 5th anniversary bash at the food co-op, spring markets blooming across town, Latin night masquerades, and at least four different art workshops where you can make something with your hands before Monday returns.
Let's map it out.
