St. Patrick's Day

Weekend Preview 3.12.09

March 12, 2009

The weekend is almost here! Here are a few fun things happening around town this weekend.

If you like your Friday the 13th wild instead of spooky, those tiger cubs I mentioned Tuesday will be showing their stripey faces at the zoo starting tomorrow, March 13th.

Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, based on the storybook by Kevin Henkes, opens at Nashville Children's Theatre this weekend. Whether or not they're familiar with Henkes' spunky mouse heroine, your preschoolers are sure to love NCT's interpretation of the story. My daughter was lucky enough to attend a NCT performance of Go, Dog, Go! last spring and it made a huge impression on her. She had never attended a theatrical performance before but is itching to go back. The show runs every weekend through April 5th, but if you can't catch one of those dates there will be another run in June.

It's time for Feile Franklin once again. Held this Saturday March 14th on the square in downtown Franklin, this celtic celebration takes place around St. Patrick's Day every year. Your kids will enjoy musical and dance performances while you enjoy the beer tastings.

Have a great weekend!
