Another week is almost over and it is time to start thinking of plans for this weekend. Summer is beginning to wind down and there are now fewer weekends in summer than more, so time is running out to enjoy getting out in the heat and taking advantage of it. Finding a place to cool off in the water, staying inside with the ac on, or driving to a place with cooler weather are all fun options, but for those that want to stay in the area and enjoy the many events you can only go to this time of year, here are some of the event taking place in Twin Falls and around the state this weekend, and there are many of them.
