Weekend Planner: Free Outdoor Movie, Carnival, Evening of Dreams
Here's what's happening in and around Rosemont this weekend.
This weekend is extra special: It's the only Friday the 13th we have for the rest of the year, so make it a good one. No need to avoid stepping under a ladder or walking on a crack in the sidewalk; instead, download Stevie Wonder's Superstition" and blast it with enthusiasm. Once that's done, check out Golden Empire Elementary School's Spring Carnival and get your face painted with balloons and stars. It's just one of the five exciting activities we have planned for you this time around. Pick your favorite and have at it; four-leaf clover for good luck is optional.
