Mixtape warfares, blindfolds, bachelor parties, and a problematic disco light are subjects of some plays to be presented during Finnigan's Festival of Funky Fresh Fun, which begins Thursday.
All performances of the festival will take place at the Rudyard Kipling, which is located at 422 West Oak Street in downtown Louisville. Finnigan's Festival of Funky Fresh Fun will open on Thursday, April 15, at 7:30 p.m. Performances will also take place on April 16, 17, 22, 23, and 24 at 7:30 p.m.

Cars on adjacent US Highway 150 are usually the loudest noises heard around Mount Saint Francis, home of the Conventual Franciscan province of Our Lady of Consolation. On Saturday, many of those cars will be turning into the drive and parking in the fields, as the friars of "The Mount" host their annual picnic.

For those looking for something to do other than Hullabalou, St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Clarksville will hold its Parish Picnic Friday and Saturday.
Booths, live music, beer, raffles, crafts, and a chicken dinner are among the highlights to the annual event.
In the interest of full disclosure, this writer will be pouring beer in the air-conditioned comfort of the gambling area (also known as the school gymnasium) on Friday evening and will be proudly flouring pound after pound of chicken on Saturday morning and afternoon.

There's a lot more than three reasons to cross the river this weekend - if you are a lover of the libations, that is. You see, this Saturday, Indiana is host to an alcoholic's wonderland. One could make a driving tour of it. Just be sure to find a designated driver. And a time machine or some sort of teleporter wouldn't hurt, either. These events are all on Saturday and all looks spectacular.
