This Weekend: Jordana, Benefit, Bash

Ah, finally, the weather drops down into something resembling a beautiful Midwestern fall. Warm days and crisp evenings. Burrowing under an old blanket in a cold room. Too mature to jump into leaf piles, but scuffing through them a bit when no one's watching. So what to do to make the most of this beautiful weather? Lots.

Things to Do in Northern Kentucky this Weekend:

The lovely, melodic Jordana plays at the Bean Haus at 7 p.m. Saturday. 640 Main Street, Covington. Get juiced up on locally brewed coffee and then hit the town- you'll have no problem making last call! No cover.

The Whole House Michael W. Bany Memorial Scholarship Benefit starts 7 p.m. Saturday at Southgate House. Featuring In-Rage, HQAX, Shamvoodoo, APG, Out By Sunday, Earl Grey, Margin of Error and 8Kount $7. Southgate is located at 24 E 3rd St. Newport.

The So Long Summer Rib Cook-Off and Blues Bash goes through Sunday at Turfway Park. Post time is 1:10 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Music and ribs go well into the evening both days!

And of course, Mary Ellen Tanner and co. will be bringing down the house on Sunday at Chez Nora in Covington's Mainstrasse (corner of 6th and Main).

That should be enough to get you started. Have a great weekend!
