Spring may be in the air, or it may never come to Lincoln, Nebraska. I’m just thankful for rain rather than snow, cloudy skies rather than chemical-filled ones and a few more weeks of training for those racers who will, God-willing, run safely in the Lincoln Marathon. We live in a great city with great people and even greater opportunities. Find Something To Do In This Town.
Astronomy Day
9:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Morrill Hall and the Mueller Planetarium are a cool place to visit any weekend. There you will find fun exhibits, interesting facts, and hands-on experiences. But, this weekend is special. This is Astronomy Day. According to a UNL press release, “Attendees will learn about planets, optics, telescopes, physics, robotics, space travel, nanotechnology and more. Many organizations will be presenting activities and demonstrations. The event features prizes, educational laser shows, and activities about space, science and more. Regular museum admission will be required. Museum members are free.”
Showings of “Lasers in Astronomy” by Prismatic Magic are also available for an additional fee in the Mueller Planetarium. This educational laser show explores how state-of-the-art laser technology is helping astronomers better understand the universe. Show times are 11 a.m., noon, 1, 2 and 3 p.m. Evening performances are also available – “Laser Beatles” (which is 40 minutes long) shows at 8 p.m. “Laser Led Zeppelin” (50 minutes) shows at 9 p.m. The Led Zeppelin show is not intended for children.
Tickets, available at the museum’s front desk the day of the show only, are $8 general admission and $7 for members (with a valid ID card).
 Lancaster Event Center
Noon – 4:00 p.m.
If stars aren’t your thing, perhaps you are a bit more into animals? Well, if so, you should mosey on out to the Lancaster Event Center. There you will find 250 college rodeo athletes from Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota who will be trying to earn their way to the College National Finals in Casper, Wyoming. They will compete in 9 different events composed of Bareback Riding, Break Away Roping, Steer Wrestling, Tie-Down Roping, Team Roping, Saddle Bronc Riding, Goat Tying, Barrel Racing and Bull Riding. Come and help support your Husker Rodeo Team!
Kids day will start at noon on Saturday. There will be FREE family friendly activities to participate in promoting agriculture and rodeo awareness. Children 12 and under will get in free for the Saturday 1:30pm performance ONLY. Tickets are $8 for adults in advance or $12 at the door.
9:00 – 3:00 p.m.
Last week we featured an event at the Lancaster Event Center – if you didn’t make it to the Northeast part of Lincoln, perhaps you can venture down into the Southwest corner. Neat Repeatz is in a new location this year – 8400 Cody Drive. And, while it is a bit of drive, it can be worth your time to pick up in season items for your kids that are in great shape at even better prices. Get brand names and save a bundle. Many of the items on Saturday will be 25% off – for an even better sale – check it out Sunday where lots of items will be 50% off.
**Special Sunday Event**
 Antelope Park
Noon – 5:00 p.m.
Earth Day is officially Monday, April 22nd. However, Lincoln will celebrate on Sunday, April 21st. You can find the majority of the kid friendly events at Antelope Park. From Noon – 5:00 there will be a Party in the Park with farmer’s market vendors, expo booths, and earth-friendly demonstrations. Some of the activities are yet to be announced, so if you are feeling like an adventure, bike on over to Antelope Park on Sunday and check out the many unique Earth Day offerings.
Build Lincoln this weekend at the Children’s Museum – all for free! Or, if that isn’t your style, perhaps you would like to update the kids’ style by outfitting their summer wardrobe. You can find that opportunity at the Lancaster Event Center with the Take 2 Consignment Sale. Finally, there are lots of great theater offerings in the next few weeks as the local universities finish up their seasons. Visit the town of Spoon River and hear the stories the dead have to tell in Spoon River Anthologies at Nebraska Wesleyan. Or, check out the UNL Theatrix program’s version of Taming of the Shrew. There is Always Something To Do In This Town.
 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Exciting doesn’t begin to describe this event on Saturday! First, admission to the Children’s Museum is FREE all day Saturday. The Lincoln Chamber of Commerce and many business partners are planning to break two Guinness World Records on Saturday. The Lincoln Log build event will be in the center of the museum, however there will be tons of great kid activities throughout the entire building. You can have a free lumberjack photo taken in the FOTObrations FOTObooth. Or, you can build your own Lincoln Log structure or other fun activities based on this weekend’s big goal! This is certainly one for the record books!
Lancaster Event Center
10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
‘Tis the season where the weather changes, repeatedly, and as it warms up you realize just how much your children have grown in just a few months. There are several consignment sales – this one kicks off the season. Take 2 will be at the Lancaster Event Center. The sale opens Thursday and runs through Sunday. Stop out there and peek at the next larger size for your kiddos. We have always found great bargains there.
 7:30 – 9:30 p.m.
If you aren’t familiar with Edgar Lee Masters’ Spoon River Anthology, let me encourage you to attend this show. A bit dark and twisted at times, this is a bunch of epitaphs of the community’s most upstanding and down in the gutter citizens. Plus, you get the perspectives of everyone in between. I think seeing this show staged would be a great experience – especially if you have read a few of the stories of the people from this small Illinois town. Tickets are $10 and the show will be performed in the Miller Theater on the Wesleyan Campus.
7:30 – 9:30 p.m.
If you haven’t been to a UNL Theatrix production lately, this would be a great one. Not only is it a great show, being one of Shakespeare’s early comedies, but I have it on good authority that this is an exceptional cast. The show runs this weekend and next, so if your calendar is full this week, you may want to get your tickets now. You can call the Lied Center box office at 402-472-4747 or get them online at the link above.
On the 2nd floor of the Parrish building you can see just how creative Lincoln can be. There are a variety of exhibits, media and artists upstairs above Gomez Art Supply. There is no excuse to stay home Because There is Always Something To Do In This Town.

About SPATIUM:
SPATIUM is a space for art. Art can be a somewhat subjective term outside of the academic world. But art is whatever a given person decides to call art. Others may disagree, but once a piece is labeled as “art” then the topic is up for discussion. Some may hold their ground, and others may change their minds. But once something is called “art” then it will always be “art” to someone. SPATIUM is a space for those discussions. SPATIUM is a space for artists, whether they are labeled: “academic”, “outsider”, “professional”, “amateur”, or anything else. SPATIUM is a space for art. The name SPATIUM is Latin for “space” and is pronounced like the words “spa”, “tea”, & “um”.
