What are your weekend plans?
There’s so much going on this weekend in Dayton that it’s borderline crazy. Here are just a few things I’m looking forward to:
Brew Ha-Ha at Urban Nights … It will be at Dave Hall Plaza - 4th & Jefferson streets behind the Crowne Plaza. In addition to laughs, there will be 14 Beers to Sample: Bass Ale, Beach Bum Blonde Ale, Boddington, Bud Light Lime, Landshark, Redbridge, Red Hook ESB, Red Hook IPA, Shock Top, Stella Artois, Stone Mill Organic, Tennents, Widner & Wild Blue. $1 for a sample or $3 for a glass. Here are some other things to see at Urban Nights while you’re there. After I’ve checked out Urban Nights, A World A’Fair is happening at the Dayton Convention Center, 22 E. Fifth St. There’s sure to be many delicious dishes there to greet me when I walk in, and we all know a snack is a good idea after a few libations.
Saturday morning I plan to get my shop on at the Springfield Antique Show and Flea Market at the Clark County Fairgrounds off Interstate 70 in Springfield. About 2,500 dealers will be at one of the biggest sales events in this part of the country. Hours are noon to 6 p.m. Friday, May 16; 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 17; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 18. Admission is $5.
Lastly, I’m very excited about Young @ Heart finally opening in the Dayton market. In fact, I blogged about the film that proves rock ‘n’ roll will never die in April - see the clip for yourself here and find out why I’m so very, very excited. While I’m at the Neon I may try and check out the African World Film Festival also happening this weekend. Four African films, including the 2006 Academy Award winner “Tsotsi,” will be presented Friday, May 16, through Sunday, May 18, at the Neon Movies, 130 E. Fifth St., Dayton.
Downtown and surrounding areas are sure to be hoppin’ this weekend and I can’t wait to be part of it! If you care to share what’s on your schedule we’d love to hear it. Hope to see you out and about.

Proceeds for Fleurs de Fete should go to Alcoholics Anonymous or MADD. 300 wines? How absurd. “Only” $60 per person, too.
