What's a Girl to do ?

Each Thursday I'll list several Charlottesville events upcoming this weekend that I'm interested in attending. Hope to see you there!

It's that time of year again ALREADY so get in the spirit and kick off the season!

THURSDAY

Film, Riding the Rails, 7pm, FREE, Jefferson-Madison Regional Library on Main Street.  During the Great Depression, 4 million Americans took to the road, searching for food and shelter.  Included are interviews with former teenage transients 60 years later. A PBS film.

FRIDAY

Grand Illumination, Lighting of the Trees, Downtown Mall, 5pm, FREE.  Downtown merchants ring in the upcoming holiday season.  Special events on the Mall and kids activities on 2nd Street South.

Film, Elf, The Paramount Theatre $4 kids/$6 adults.  If you have never seen Elf this is by far the best Will Ferrell film ever and truly funny.

SATURDAY
