Go hang out at City Park this evening and enjoy John Boutte for the Thursdays at Twilight Garden Concert Series!

The gates open up at 5:00 pm and the performance starts at 6:00 pm in the City Park Botanical Garden Pavilion of the Two Sisters...There is an admission charge, but hey, it's helping the Park out...$10 for adults and $3 for children (it was $3 last year :)

Need a little art, culture and music? You gotta go to the show at the Ogden Southern Museum of Art (925 Camp St.) - better known as Ogden after Hours.

And be sure to head on over to the bar for the O-Enchanted - a spritely concoction of vodka, club soda, rosemary-infused simple syrup and a splash of pear juice!
