Weekend Picks for Summertime Fun

The weekend forecast is sunny and 80's - summer doesn't get better than this, folks. Our top picks for the weekend are:
  1. Looking for some rackus and rauchy fun? Head to the Sterling Renaissance Festival where lords and ladies have as much fun as the jesters. Knaw on a roasted turkey leg while knights joust. Join the merriment of a pub sing-a-long. There are 15 stages in action and plenty of interactive fun along the way, as well as artisans demonstrating their craftsmanship (and of course selling their wares). 
  2. The elephants are back at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in their newly expanded exhibit. We are fortunate to have such a zoo in our backyard. My personal favorites are the penguins, monkeys, oh and the bears, and the lions - I guess I enjoy it all. This is a place you can commune with the many species on this earthly world of ours.
  3. And to round out the weekend, some great blues at the NYS Blues Festival (back after a 1 year hiatus). The festival has moved to the Syracuse Inner Harbor (I'll walk there from my downtown flat) and besides the great music, there will be family fun - so bring the kids on down. The festival is free, but if you want prime viewing and complimentary food and beverages invest in the Blues Club Ticket ($75) Corn-Bred and Los Blancos are playing on Sunday. 

Put your sunscreen on and head out for some weekend fun!
