The “Get Out” planner appears just in time for you to take a brief end-of-the-week breather and start thinking ahead towards the upcoming weekend. The planner will include local, low-cost activities, along with the occasional far-flung, pricier, but oh-so-worth it city sojourn.

Is your business planning a Spring Fling family festival? Does a local museum hold educational reenactments that will transform even the most ardent World of Warcraft tot into a budding Revolutionary War scholar? We want to hear from you!
