1. Florence After Five presents the very first night of the concert series (note to self: Have not gotten a sitter yet.) (Also, Downtown people, please work on your website.)
2. Saturday is the Black Creek Kayak Festival! (Kudos on the website by the way.) I am REALLY excited about taking the kids and Mr. Flossip to this event. Kayaking black creek is one of the things I always think would be fun, but never can figure out quite how to do it. It doesn’t help that I once had a traumatic experience involving a canoe and a river.
3. Peter Pan will still be going on at the Florence Little Theater. Here is a nice review in the Morning News. (When you click that link, you really should think about subscribing to the paper, or at least clicking their ads to help support the people that work hard to bring you all of this information.)
4. The March of Dimes March for Babies will be Saturday May 2, 2009. This is the March of Dimes huge fundraising push to help infants born too soon or sick (or both).

The article about Peter Pan, though nice, isn’t a review. A review would contain information that had been gained from viewing the performance. The Morning News, as a policy, does not review theatrical performances. Reviews can be found in the free weekly paper.
To clarify, we lack the staff to review performances at this time.
We haven’t had a “no theatrical performance reviews” policy in my nearly 15 years here in the newsroom.
