Matters of Graves Importance: Saturday's entertainment is packed
The entertainment scene in Chillicothe is buzzing with activity. There is always something new to see or do, from concerts and plays to art exhibits and festivals. In this column, I love highlighting some of the best entertainment options our city has to offer. Whether you are looking for a night out on the town or something to do with the family, be sure to check out what's happening every week in Matters of Graves Importance.
My comedy open mic returns to Old Capitol Brewing at 7:30 p.m. tonight. Join me as I welcome funny people from all over the region to the taproom stage. Anchorhouse Rolling Bistro will be out front from 5 to 9 p.m."Music In the Park ALL 80's NIGHT" with DJ Hazel is from 5 to 9 p.m. in Yoctangee Park weather permitting. This event is free and open to the public. Hazel presents this fun time every week with a different theme.
On Friday the "Art Night Market" opens at 6 p.m. in front of Rose Quartz Candles at 47 North Paint Street. Each week Cassie features artists who sell their wares in her cool metaphysical store out front on the sidewalk.
