7 Events to Enjoy the Final Weekend of August in the Magic Valley

Another week is coming to an end, and what better way to forget about work, school, and the stress of life than by distracting yourself with a fun weekend of events? Yes, you could sit at home and rest and watch movies or television, but there is plenty of time to be locked inside during the winter. Instead, get out this weekend and have some fun at one of the many events taking place in the Magic Valley.

Do you enjoy listening to music? Do you enjoy bingo? How about putting the two together and playing some Music Bingo to start your weekend off?
