So last weekend was kind of sad. A 3-day weekend, tons of stuff to do and what happened? It rained all weekend! Several festivals got cancelled and those that didn’t just weren’t as fun having to attend either soaking wet or holding an umbrella over our heads the whole time. The good news is that we live in St. Louis, which means there’s something to do pretty much every weekend!

So here’s a great event you can attend to forget about last weekend’s weather and get out and enjoy the city this weekend:

St. Louis Art Fair in Clayton

September 7 – 5-10pm
September 8 – 11am-10pm
September 9 – 11am-5pm
 

The Art Fair is an outdoor festival showcasing art in various forms: ceramics, digital art, painting, photography, sculpture, glass, metalwork, jewelry and more.

Doesn’t know how to cook and survives pretty much on macaroni and cheese and pizza, so naturally, loves to eat out at restaurants. However, one day when she is married and has a family to cook for, she would love to take cooking classes and learn awesome skills like the chefs on Iron Chef America...as long as she doesn't have to clean the dishes afterwards.
