 Prepare yourself for a weekend of BBQ, craft beer tasting, and the arrival of the Great Race! Spend your Saturday at LeClaire Park for the Kansas City Barbeque Society's 3rd annual BBQ & Craft Brew followed by live music in the evening. Make your way back Sunday as the historic 2013 Great Race arrives in the Quad Cities. Come out early so you don't miss the Show & Shine Car Show! Having been called "almost a world unto himself" by The New York Times, Edmar Castaneda is act you don't want to miss this Sunday. With beautifully complex timing, lush colors, and a dynamic spirit, this Colombian jazz harpist brings his revolutionary music to the River Music Experience. On Friday, join RME's Rock Wars: Battle of the Bands Round 1 featuring 45 on High vs. Item 9 & The Mad Hatters. It's up to the fans to determine which band proceeds to the next round!
 Brush up on your Pac Man skills tomorrow night when Barrel House 211 hosts an 80's Bash! Dress in your favorite 80's attire and get an 80's specialty shot for free, all while enjoying live music by Meet the Press. And what's more, every straw going into the specialty cocktail will feature the face of Tom Cruise from the movie Cocktail! Learn how to take great and memorable shots of your vacations during the Travel Photography Class for Adults at the German American Heritage Center on Sunday. Don't forget about the Family Fun Fridays where families can explore the museum for just $10 this summer! This makes for a great opportunity to check out their Land and Water or Double Exposure: Prints of Past and Present exhibits! Grab an early dinner at Boozies Bar and Grille on Saturday and then venture downstairs to Gallery 114 for their Opening Reception for guest Artist/Fine Art Photographer Matthew Terry. Peruse his works of art along with other displays featuring the works of Karen Klingborg, Marty Kiser, Lori Davis, Carolyn Jane Krueger, and Regan Hatfield. Spend some quality time outdoors this weekend and enjoy the summer weather! Get your jazz fix at this weekend's Music on the Levee featuring Swing Shift. If you're looking for some fun and affordable family activities, head to Red Hawk Golf Course for golf, food, and other activities on Friday.
