Stuff To Do

OK. I have friends coming to town this month and had to come up with something to do. And stuff for them to do while I'm at work.

Turns out our little town has much to do. But I'll have to be a tourist in my own city to recommend them all. Any insite or additions would be greatly appreciated.
