What to do this weekend? Check out Weekend!

Here are some things to do this weekend in Manatee and Sarasota counties.

This male (Sarge) is listed as a Pit Bull. If you like a dog that keeps you entertained, he is the one! He liked toys, and would sit for treats, and almost lay down, he's learning. He gave kisses generously and did his business the minute he was outside. Please give us a second chance to live and love. Adopt, transfer or foster us today!

FILE - In this Aug. 30, 2012 file photo, residents evacuate their flooded neighborhood in LaPlace, La. as Hurricane Isaac staggered toward central Louisiana, its weakening winds driving storm surge into portions of the coast and the River Parishes between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Federal forecasters are predicting yet another busy hurricane season. The outlook on Thursday, May 23, 2013 calls for 13 to 20 named storms, 7 to 11 that strengthen into hurricanes and 3 to 6 that become major hurricanes. The prediction by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is more than what’s considered an average Atlantic season.
