Here are some happenings around the Greater PalmerMetroPlex this weekend.
Our universe contains many mysteries. One of them can be answered tonight.
Do you know who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Here’s a clue: Absorbent and yellow and porous is he.
If nautical nonsense be something you wish,
Drop to the deck and flop like a fish…
That’s right! The SpongeBob Musical is here. It opens tonight at the Glenn Massay Theater. Get tickets and show information at GlennMassayTheater.com. The show runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through June 6.
The Palmer Museum of History and Art hosts Artist of the Week Crystal Dermer at Friday Fling tomorrow. Come meet this Palmer-based creative. She is known for vibrant window art, murals, and mosaic work. The show includes mosaic frames, a fused-glass piece, and sculptural works. Dermer will be at the museum at 11 a.m.
Speaking of the Fling, Jerry Wessling will play live on the outdoor stage. Enjoy the music and explore local craft vendors and tasty food trucks. Bring your friends, grab a bite, groove on some great locally spawned tunes, do some shopping, and enjoy Friday in Palmer.
Music at the Palmer Alehouse this weekend includes Woodrow on Friday and Good Company on Saturday. Both shows start at 7 p.m. These are free, all ages, outdoors, rain or shine shows. Attendees under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. You can also hang out in the Palmer Town Square and enjoy the tunes, too.
Or drive out to the Palmer Fishhook Bar on Friday to see Jesse James and Sergio live at 6 p.m.
If you want to get out of town for some tunes, check out the Gunsight Lodge Music Festival all weekend at milepost 123 on the Glenn Highway. Confederate Railroad and other bands will play. More info on the Little Country Entertainment Facebook page.
The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Extreme Bull Riding competition runs Saturday and Sunday on the State Fairgrounds. This heart-pounding event brings together bull riders and the Big Stone Rodeo bulls from Canada for an epic showdown. More info and tickets available at rodeoalaska.com. Yee-haw!
Sponge Bob, bullriding and lots of music, that’s a weekend to remember. This has been just a peak at some of the exciting and stimulating stuff to do in our corner of the globe.
On a somber note, Monday is Memorial Day. It’s a federal holiday. Take a moment to honor and mourn our military personnel who died while serving in the Armed Forces.
Memorial Day events in the Valley include the Veterans Wall of Honor Ceremony at 1 p.m. Mat-Su Valley veterans host this memorial service and tribute. The Veterans Wall of Honor is at 801 N. Wasilla-Fishhook Road, next to the Wasilla Police Station.
