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 - This Sunday, Aug. 28, 2005 file photo shows a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration infrared satellite image of Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico. There are six lists used in rotation for storms in the Atlantic. The 2013 list will be used again in 2019. Names are taken off the list and replaced to avoid confusion if a hurricane causes a lot of damage or deaths. For example, the name of Hurricane Katrina was retired after it devastated New Orleans in 2005.
