The Marauders are in the middle of a big home stand, giving you a chance to get out to the new stadium. The Manatee Players have a new movie program at their new facility AND it's Snooty's birthday, so you can go over to the South Florida Museum and get in on the party. Grab your glove, butter the popcorn and pick up a birthday card, it's time for a Weekend Adventure in Bradenton!
