Weekend Roundup March 18-20
Just when it seemed certain that we were likely to enjoy an early spring, Minnesota decided to remind us that March is still firmly snow and cold weather in the northern states. Weekend temperatures are expected to be in the upper 30s, possibly hitting into the low 40s, which seems chilly on the tails of last weekend's warmth, but is actually about average for this time of year. There is also a chance for some mixed precipitation. While it's not time to stow away your winter clothes and pull out the flip flops just yet, there are plenty of fun things to do this weekend.
- Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30PM, catch the Paradise Community Theater's performance of The Odd Couple at the Paradise Center for the Arts.
