It’s supposed to get into the 40s this Saturday and Sunday. Positively balmy. Here’s five things to get you out and about this weekend that don’t involve advertising circulars or standing in checkout lines:
2) Cold, clear nights are perfect for star gazing. Learn where to look and what you’re looking at Saturday at 8 p.m. at Soldier’s Delight Natural Environment Area, 5100 Deer Park Road, Owings Mills. Members of the Westminster Astronomy will give you a look at the galaxy from inside out. The program will include a discussion of Perseus and the last meteor shower of the year. The event is free; donations appreciated. To reserve a spot, call 877-794-0606.
3) On Sunday, celebrate the 55th anniversary of the Wisp Resort at Deep Creek Lake. One-day lift tickets are $7, sports rental and group lessons are half price. Activities include a scavenger hunt, a hot cocoa and cider tasting, muscis and games. At 1 p.m., Wisp will unveil a birthday cake made by Baltimore’s Charm City Cakes and cut free pieces for everyone. The celebration will spill over to Monday. There’s more at http://www.wispresort.com.
