Get ready for the weekend

Circus In The Wind opens Friday Aug 22 at the Foothills. It's not exactly cheap at $12 for adults and $8 for kids (am I missing something?) but it brings the magic of the circus to life under The Big Top. Friday 7pm, Saturday and Sunday 2pm.

I don't usually post information about art galleries, but the whimsical "Breathing Room" exhibits at the Wilber mansion might be fascinating to kids: Experience magical spaces inspired by dreams... Exhibition runs Friday August 22through September 20. More at the Arts Council website.

Saturday is Old Franklin Day from 9am to 4pm at the Franklin NY Central School grounds. There will be K9 demos, belly dancing, a magician, music, horse and wagon rides, Doodlebugs, and more.

Saturday and Sunday the Fly Creek Cider Mill hosts the 14th Annual Antique Engine Show and Fly Creek NY comes alive with over 50 yard sales, shows and special events including historical artifacts and lunch at the Old Grange Hall, a Methodist bake sale, a firehouse Pancake Breakfast, and a local farm's Garlic Harvest Celebration. More info.

Suday Aug 24, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m., Ice cream social in Sidney Center at the Maywood Historical Depot, featuring social time and dessert.

Last but not least, the Murder Mystery Train departs at 2PM, check out the Leatherstocking Railroad.

Looking ahead: assuming you have the $200 to spend, you might want to book your Centenial Balloon ride for the weekend of Aug 29-31 now. More info at Oneonta Centenial.
