It seems that May just began a couple of days ago, but we are entering the final weekend of the month, and many of us need the three-day, holiday weekend. While some of us will take advantage of it and catch up on rest, get some yard work done, or perhaps take out the boat, kayak, or trailer, others will be looking for something to do to get out of the house. There are always events taking place in the Magic Valley, and this holiday weekend is no different. Here are some things to check out and attend this Memorial Day weekend in Twin Falls.

While going to the movies is nice, it isn't as cheap as it once was. Perhaps you have little ones, with no sitter, but still want to get out and enjoy a movie. Every Saturday at the Twin Falls Public Library they do a movie matinee from 3 PM to 5 PM. It is free and it allows children to get the feel of going to the movies without the cost.

There may not be as many events this weekend as others, but with the unofficial start of summer this weekend, there will be plenty on the way the following weekends. You don't have to wait though and stay inside, go see a movie, save money and see one for free or a blockbuster at the movie theaters, go watch people jump off the bridge, learn about brain trauma, sip on wine, and enjoy some sweets, take in a puppet show, or enjoy a rodeo. Whatever you decide to do this Memorial Day weekend, have fun, be safe, and enjoy the weekend.
