See St. Joseph: celebrating mothers and clear skies
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- A beautiful weekend full of sunshine and activities promises to keep things entertaining in St. Joseph. News-Press NOW's Kendra Simpson planned this weekend's top activities in entertainment in this week's edition of See St. Joseph.
Most people dream of flying like an eagle at some point in their lives. The FlyTech Pilot Academy offers kids that chance this weekend with its free Young Eagles Flight program.
For over 30 years, the program has introduced and inspired kids to explore the world of aviation with free rides in an airplane. More than 2.5 million young people have experienced what it's like to be a pilot through this program. The Young Eagles flights will go from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday at Rosecrans Memorial Airport.
After soaring with the birds, why not come back down to Earth and snuggle with the puppies? Hazel's Coffee, with the help of the Pony Express Therapy Dogs, will host the Snuggles, Mom and Me and Lattes Saturday morning.
What's better than spending time with moms, a bunch of dogs and enjoying a refreshing cup of coffee? Hazel's will be accepting donations to the St. Joseph Animal Shelter, so attendees can bring food, treats, blankets, toys and other pet essentials to donate. The puppy love goes from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday at Hazel's Coffee, located at 3829 Frederick Ave.
For moms who prefer a nice brunch to a bunch of dogs, the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art is hosting the Mother's Day Brunch and Bloom.
Whether celebrating Mother's Day, planning a girls' day out, or craving a little beauty and creativity, this event is the perfect way to savor the season. There's going to be crepes prepared by the museum's Executive Director, Eric Fuson. Of course, it's not brunch without the essentials: mimosas, bloody marys and mocktails. After brunch, get creative with a hands-on paper flower-making activity, or maybe just explore the museum's exhibits in full bloom. The doors open at 10 a.m. and brunch will be served at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art. To reserve a spot, visit the event's webpage at albrecht-kemper.org.
Whether flying high in the sky or playing in the dirt and flowers, there's always something to do to celebrate Spring in St. Joseph. Tune in to News-Press NOW every Thursday for more See St. Joseph.
