Now you have plans for the weekend

You need plans. Fat City has a recycle bin full of listings. In this post, all our problems are solved.

Sadly, there is no great Missouri Ocean. And yet you can still enjoy a glass of wine by the sea — by the Inland Sea Winery, that is. The West Bottoms winery holds tastings on Fridays between 4 and 7 p.m. at 1600 Genessee, Suite 160. 

Used to be, the only way you could experience Waterfire

was if you went to Providence, Rhode Island. You no longer have to take

an airplane. You can enjoy gondola rides on Brush Creek this Saturday for the free arts event that’s literally fire on top of

water. As soon as it’s dusk, Waterfire is open for business and it runs

until midnight. Steak lovers take note: Capitol Grille and the Plaza

III Steakhouse join Brio and Houston’s as the food vendors for the

Plaza event.

You’ve also got two chances to help someone else this weekend. The first is for barbecue lovers and poker players. The Delta Battery Armory is holding a Poker Run and Cookout benefit on Saturday for the families and soldiers of the 1/129th FA Delta Battery. Registration is at 9 a.m. with a cookout scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $20.
