Brewster in Bloom--Parade, Arts and Antiques During the Day, Cape Theatre in the Evenings

Today starts Brewster in Bloom. Especially excited this year, as the grandsons will be marching in the Sunday Parade and the weather is supposed to be lovely. Look for the red head with the sax and the other red head with the bass drum -- probably the smallest drummer there. Also this weekend our grand daughter will be in the Nauset Middle School production of The Wizard of Oz. She will be dressed in green. Of course, there will be a lot of kids dressed in green, but she will be the pretty red head -- kind of runs in the family, and of course, those who have stayed at the Inn already know about all the red hair.

If you are looking for some serious theatre on the Cape "Eurydice" is at the Cape Rep, "Of Mice and Men" at the Orleans Academy of Performing Arts, "Edward II" at The Provincetown Theater, "Much Ado About Nothing" at Cape Cod Community College, and there are other performances throughout the Cape.

The Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra Classics V Austrian connections will be performed in Barnstable at the Performing Arts Center on Saturday and Sunday.

Feel like dancing -- well Head over to Joe's Beach Road Bar & Grill in East Orleans. Enjoy the music of The Rip It Ups, starting at 10:00 PM. Also music at the Lost Dog Pub on Friday at 9:30 PM. Check the Cape Cod Times for other musical entertainment.

This coming Wednesday head to the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History for a spring walk. Meet at 9:20 at the Museum for a trek on Morris Island that lasts for two hours. Beautiful scenery there. One of our favorite haunts for hiking.

Birders head up to the Massachusetts Audubon society' Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary for a great hike. That evening at 6:30 at the Truro Public Library learn about the Coastal Waterbird Program. Call 508-487-1125 for more information.

Also, check out the Cape Cod Times website for information on all that is going on this weekend and next week. The Cape is springing up with events and The Whalewalk Inn is ready to greet visitors. Enjoy off-season rates and all that the Cape has to offer.
