WEEKEND FUN: Makerspace Workshops, Movie Night, Music & More

By |

Have you all heard of the Hatch Makerspace in town? This Friday afternoon they will be teaching people how to use their 3D designer software and their vinyl cutter. Maybe it’s time to get a big head start on your spring Yard Art project. Friday night the town is holding an outdoor movie night, with a family-friendly, Disney film, “Super Buddies.” (Who doesn’t love Golden Retriever puppies?) Once the kiddos are in bed, there’s some dancing to be had on Friday and Saturday evenings, a rock-cover band on Friday at the Sons of Italy Hall, and a Latin dance scene on Saturday night at Olespana. Have you got a baby sitter lined up? Chilling on Sunday afternoon could include a Mt. Auburn guided walk, in which you can learn a lot about that treasure we have in our East End.
