Things to Do This Weekend in the Tri-State
There is a lot going on this weekend here in the tri-state - Lots of theatre! The 16th Annual Warrick County Summer Musical 'Hairspray' kicks off this Thursday and runs all weekend long at Castle High School, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat premiers on Thursday at Lincoln Amphitheatre, and New Harmony Theatre's production of Pete 'n' Keely begins on Friday.
The Warrick County 4-H Fair is happening through the weekend with live music, a demolition derby and more. Ellis Park has live thoroughbred racing this weekend along with wiener dog races, and the Evansville Otters are back in town on Sunday with a 4:35PM game against River City.
And as always there are plenty of local bands and acoustic artists performing in your favorite bars all over the area.
Have fun and be safe!
