It looks like a quiet weekend ahead in Davidson, where all the children are above average and most of the college kids are heading off on spring break.

After all that rain Thursday, consider heading out in the sun this weekend to watch the Wildcats baseball team, which is on a hot streak, or perhaps to clear trails at Fisher Farm. And don’t forget to look up Saturday evening at about 6:20 p.m. to enjoy a total lunar eclipse that should turn our closest celestial neighbor red. Do you have a favorite sky viewing spot in town? Tell us about it! And if you’re feeling contemplative, consider the St. Alban’s Celtic eucharist Sunday morning.
