| I admit, this picture is from last year. Have you seen any daffodils peaking up yet? |
Truthfully? The one-time events around the Fort aren't all that plentiful this weekend. Don't worry, as the month goes on and the weather improves, that'll change. (The last weekend in April is packed!) Until then, help me out a little. Leave some comments about what you're going to be up to this weekend, and give us all some inspiration to get out and play.
Friday, April 4
7:30 – Catch the last Mad Ants game of the season. Memorial Coliseum.
Saturday, April 5
Fort Wayne's Farmers Market - If the weather is pleasant, some of the vendors should start moving outdoors soon. That makes for less crowding around the tables, and more room for kids to move around and explore. Parkview Field, 9am-1pm.
Guess Whoooo is coming to theLibrary? - Have a hoot with owl stories, a craft, and a visit from a live owl. Dupont Library, 10:30am, ages 3-8.
The Pigeon Needs a Bath Storytime – Celebrate the release of Mo
Willem’s latest Pigeon book with storytime and a craft at Barns & Noble. Glenbrook Mall location, 11:00am.
Saturday Night Stargazing - Tonight is the first chance of the season to look up with the Fort Wayne Astronomical Society. Too cloudy for stars tonight? The Astronomical Society offers observing nights every Saturday from tonight through November. Jefferson Township Park (map), begins 1 hour after sunset and runs for 2 hours. (Tonight sunset is at 7:25, so the stargazing runs from 8:25-10:25.)

Farrelly/Markiewicz Jazz Quartet -- Take in a free jazz concert for all ages. More information, and links to sample of the quartet's music here. Main Library, 2-3pm.
Carnival of the Animals - An animal theme links the stories and musical pieces in the Fort Wayne Philharmonic's family concert. Children's activities before the performance include crafts, juggling, a performance by the Youth Concert Orchestra Chamber Ensemble, and an "instrument playground" where kids are encouraged to touch and try the instruments they'll hear in the concert. Activities begin at 1pm, concert at 2pm. Auer Performance Hall at IPFW. Adults $17, children $7.
All Weekend
The Tincaps are playing at 7:05 Friday, 5:05 Saturday and 3:05 Sunday. With several days and times to choose from, you'll have a hard time blaming the weather or the kids' nap schedules for missing out on the fun of opening weekend.
