Things To Do This Weekend

Sometimes it’s easy to be fooled. We go about our normal activities, processes, not considering that someone is ‘plotting’ how they can catch us in a fun and innocent, however precarious, situation. I don’t think that any of us ever INTEND on being duped, hoodwinked, or swindled. But, then it happens. Every year, APRIL FOOLS DAY causes countless of individuals to tread lightly. We’re less likely to whole-heartedly believe what we hear. We know with social media, and the magic of technology, that information can be posted and out there for the world to see. So what do we take as TRUTH and what do we take as FOLLY? Out of 365 days, this is the one that we pause and consider, “Hmm, wait, what day is it? This may be a hoax and I don’t want to be the ONE to fall for the gag”. Well, I certainly can’t foretell what you may or may not be faced with on such an unpredictable and fickle day. But I CAN tell you that there are some fun and exciting things going on in the Queen City this weekend to (possibly) offset your anxiousness. This is a “NO JUDGEMENT ZONE”, but if you’re prone to falling for certain jokes and at times, let’s just say it, gullible, here are a few great things to do this weekend to keep you in perfect peace and enjoyment.
