Of course, it wouldn't be a weekend without plenty of eating opportunities.

Saturday, from 4 to 7 p.m., there will be a Swiss Steak supper at the Brownsdale United Methodist Church. The cost is $6 for adults, and children ages five to 12 are $4.

Also on Saturday, there will be a Trout Fisherman Hospitality Day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Forestville State Park Picnic Shelter.

And for those young at heart, the Matchbox Children's Theatre will present "Hansel and Gretel" at 7 p.m. tonight at the Paramount Theatre.
