Looking to fill your weekend with fun? From unique finds and tasty treats to teeing off for a good cause, we’ve got something for everyone. It’s time to See St. Joseph!

First up, Market Days is back at the Civic Arena this Saturday, Aug. 23 and Sunday, Aug. 24. With over 100 vendors, you’ll find everything from handmade wares and vintage finds to antiques and local specialties. Food trucks and vendors will be on-site.

Market Days runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Discounted weekend passes are available now at MarketDays.com.

Or tumble down the rabbit hole for an afternoon of fun. Traveler’s Hearth invites you to step into Wonderland this Saturday afternoon for “We’re All Mad Here”, a curious tea party that’s fun for all ages.

Enjoy a variety of teas, including herbal and kid-friendly blends, along with whimsical snacks and treats for grown-ups, too. Outrageous dress-up is highly encouraged, and there’s even a prize for the best hat.

Tickets are $15 and include tea and treats. The event will be held this Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. at Traveler’s Hearth, located at 1209 Frederick Ave.

If you’re an early riser looking to hit the green for a good cause, the Friends of the Animal Shelter are hosting a charity golf tournament Saturday morning at Fairview Municipal Golf Course. It’s a four-person scramble starting at 8:30 a.m.

Entry is $300 per team, with prizes for longest drive, longest putt, and more. Plus, free hot dogs and hamburgers for all participants. All proceeds support the work of the Friends of the Animal Shelter. You can register now at their website Petforu.com, or reach out to Aubrey Swofford at aubreyswofford@outlook.com for more information.

That’s your weekend rundown, from shopping and tea parties to tee time for a cause, there’s plenty to see and do right here in St Joseph. Tune in every Thursday for more ways to See St. Joseph.
