Whether you're teaching your kids disco or are looking for a fun theater performance benefitting one of the most generous charities in the nation, there's plenty of family fun to have this weekend, if you know where to look for it.

Southlake Blvd. as you put on your party swag, sing karaoke and jam out to some of the hippest new tunes. And for $40, you’ll also get the chance to brush yourself up in some glowing body paint and nail polish or twirl around some glowing sticks if you’re up to the flashy occasion.
Who says you’re the only one deserving of a dive in the pool? The Pleasant Glade Swimming Pool is hosting a special Doggie Dive-In for some of its four-legged pals at 10 a.m. on Saturday at 1805 Hall Johnson Road, and you’re invited to bring your furry little pal along with!

Lock and load. From 5-9 p.m. on Saturday at Southlake ATA Martial Arts at 2001 W. Southlake Blvd, Suite 155, your child will get the chance to show others why he’s the best Nerfer in down.

So unholster your weapon, solder: It’s Nerfin’ time!
There’s only one way to make free ice cream even sweeter, and that’s when one of the dedicated Girl Scouts hands it to you herself. Come to White’s Chapel UMC at 3 p.m. on Sunday at 185 S. White Chapel Blvd. for this free ice cream social event and learn why the Girl Scout experience can be so rewarding. Who knows?
