Five Ways to Make Your Weekend Essential
If there is one thing this virus has taught me is that I don't need a weekend in Vegas to have a good time. It's non-essential when compared to survival.
But boredom can kill, so I need to change up the routine even if it isn't very exciting or even interesting in the trendiest way.
With just a minimal amount of snooping, I realized I can still find things going on around Cedar Rapids, some live, many virtual, that can be plugged in to fill the day with a few activity options.
Some of the planners have taken measures to create events that will be lightly attended. Some on site events are following stricter guidelines than others.
Here's just a few things going on:
McGrath Powersports Bike Night 4645 Center Point Rd. tonight until 9:00 p.m. Burnourt for BOCA Contest, Unveiling of 2020 Indian Scout to be given away later this summer and the first chance to win a key that could start it up. KRNA Live broadcast with Jaymz Larson til 7pm.
Kick off your evening at 7:00 p.m. tonight a virtual concert featuring Well Hung at Marion By Moonlight broadcast on KCRG TV 9.2
