...for holiday lights! And if you thought the Plaza was the only place to find lights you are mistaken. North of the river, down south, east, and west there is a lighting ceremony near you!

Here is a list of places to see the lights and all of them run through the end of the year (some a little bit later).

Take it easy this year, go see some lights, and let someone else pay the electric bill!

I LOOOOOVE Halloween. It probably stems back to when I was little. See, my birthday is in 5 days and then right around the corner is Halloween - which I always thought was a belated birthday present for me. PLUS, I got to dress up and just ask people for 'presents'.

 So every year I get excited about the crisp air, pumpkin patches, apple picking, Louisburg donuts, and all the other fun activities that come along with fall.

Looking for something fun to do this weekend?  Don't forget about the KC Pumpkin Patch in Gardner, Kansas! Just hop on I-35 until you get to the 191st street exit and turn right. They offer way more then just pumpkins, click on the hyper link to see all the festivities!

 What a great way to spend some quality family time.

Everyone's favorite part of back to school time is shopping...right? Yeah, mine either.

But, I've found some great coupons that should make everyone's day a little better. I love the Legends Shopping Center. It's a little bit out of the way but once I get there I'm always glad I did. Plus, when I find a great deal on shoes or a new blouse I'm happy for the rest of the week!

Click here to get a list of all the special deals going on for back to school in Legends Coupon Card.

When you go out there make sure to make a day of it! Shop in the afternoon, have dinner at one of the many resturants (the kiddies love T-Rex and Dave and Buster's) and then catch the T-Bones before heading home. It's a full day of fun on the cheap!

The weekend's here and it's time to have fun... but where? Check out our Local Events Guide . We've spent a lot of time gathering a collection of local event calendars so you can find just what you're looking for.
