Friday the 13th, Flag Day and Father’s Day are rolled into one weekend this year, which by my estimation means great luck for lots of fun.
After a damp Friday — the National Weather Service said there is a 50 to 60 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms — Saturday and Sunday are predicted to be beautiful. Sunny days with highs in the mid-80s will transition to moonlit nights in the low 60s.
So what will you do this weekend? Here’s a selection of events from which to choose. Click the hyper-links for more details.
