You’re in luck. If you missed Jesse Jones, Jr. the first time he came to Heidi’s Jazz Club, you have a second unexpected chance this weekend. In addition, rumor has it that the Henegar’s production of “Singin’ in the Rain” is a great thing to do this weekend. Add to that a couple more children’s theater productions and some improv and you should stay plenty busy. This is your last chance to catch the Pan American exhibition at the Foosaner Museum. And if you want to go on that “Botanical Aromatic Journey” at the Funk Center, you’ve got to register by today (read below in the “Plan Ahead” section).
