Hello!
Fresh veggies, local meats, handmade crafts, sweets and treats...find it all and more at the Grand Reopening of the Outdoor Farmers Market this Saturday! Along with the start of the outdoor market, this weekend kicks off the Sunday Market and extended Tuesday Market. Shop fresh and shop local this summer at the market! And don't forget to bring the pups along. 

Kentucky Derby fans are in for a treat this weekend. Me & Billy kicks off derby weekend Friday with their Kentucky Oaks Cocktail Event. Ladies, gather up your gal pals and enjoy a girls' night out in your finest pink attire. On Saturday, all are invited to the Run for the Roses Bash which offers heavy hors d'oeuvres and an authentic 2015 Kentucky Derby souvenir glass.

Celebrating his 998th show, Chicago Farmer takes the stage tomorrow night for an evening of fun folk. If you haven't yet heard the news, the Mississippi Valley Blues Society has moved the date of Blues Fest to Labor Day Weekend. Help raise funds for the event on Sunday during the MVBS Fundraiser featuring live music, a silent auction, 50/50 drawings, food, and more!

Take in the sweet sounds of spring during the Davenport Zither Ensemble's Spring Concert Sunday at the German American Heritage Center. This year's concert also includes a solo performance by 2014 Miss Iowa, Aly Olson. Be sure to peruse the Wolf to Woof Exhibit and A Look at the Book Exhibit while you're there. 

With a week left, start making plans to dine with Mom, shop for Mom, and pamper Mom this Mother's Day in downtown Davenport. From brunches and free treats to free museum admission and salon discounts for Mom, downtown businesses make it easy to treat Mom this Mother's Day! Don't forget about the Beaux Arts Fair and the Flower Basket Ribbon Cutting next weekend on the Figge Plaza, too. 

 

See you downtown!
