This weekend offers three classical music performances. The first finds the Mercer Percussion Ensemble in concert with “Percussion Talk”, Friday evening, April 1, at at Fickling Hall. Marcus Reddick directs the program that features vocal percussion with John Bergamo's "Piru Bole" and "Rockin' Ricky Rocket." The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.

Well despite my happy nose with the present weather, it stunts my local discoveries for a while. I really have high hopes of attending Friday Fest's Annual Easter Egg Hunt tomorrow.

However, the weather doesn't look as though it's going to permit me the opportunity. If you happen to venture out make sure that you not only look on the street for colorful eggs but also check inside your favorite local businesses.

There are many prizes in store for the vigilant searcher. If I do happen to venture out into the rainy downtown streets I will definitely have to poke my head into Dolce Vita. They have the most delicious four cheese dip if you haven't already tried it.

I also have to check out what band is playing at Third Street Park. There are a lot of groups that will really surprise you if you're into the local scene. Well, weather permitting I hope to see you all out there!
