Weekend Distractions

1. Experience a battle of wits. Bonner Springs’ Roving Imp Theater is the site of an improv festival that runs through Sunday.

2. Bid farewell to the Abracadabras. The once promising local band plays its final show tonight at Czar Bar.


3. Look closely at baby pigs. Also: Watch kids learn how to rodeo and buy yourself some cowboy boots during Family Fun Day at the American Royal on Saturday.

4. Get some green thumb inspiration. Author and urban farmer Novella Carpenter will talk about what she grows in the middle of Oakland during a presentation Saturday at the Badseed.

5. Root for the Wizards. Kansas City’s pro soccer team takes on DC United on Saturday. Bonus: It’s Fan Appreciation Day, so the first 5,000 people get free T-shirts.
