Get Out: Music, Clowns and Sculpture

From your weekly dose of charitable trivia, to an evening under the big top, there's plenty to get out for this weekend

Friday brings live music, Saturday bears charitable trivia and Sunday is all about beads. In between, slip in a trip to the circus in St. Charles or Laumeier Sculpture Park in Sunset Hills. Know about something we don't? Share it in the comments.
