Welcome to the Weekend – February 6

IT’S FRIDAY, SO THAT MEANS IT’S TIME TO WELCOME YOU TO THE WEEKEND AND JOINING US WITH SOME GREAT IDEAS TO KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED. JASMINE GOODWIN FROM VISIT OMAHA. OMAHA’S OFFICIAL TOURISM AUTHORITY. GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME. GOOD MORNING. THIS IS A GOOD WEEKEND. I’M FEELING VERY EXCITED FOR THE WARM WEATHER. THAT MEANS YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO GET OUTSIDE, BUT YOU GOT A LITTLE WINE BUBBLE EVENT. ACTUALLY, THIS ONE IS ALL ABOUT PUPS. PUPS? IT’S A PUP POTTY AND PEDICURE POP UP. THIS IS AT THE OMAHA DOG BAR, AND IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN, IT’S 12,000FT. WOW. TOTALLY COVERED IN ARTIFICIAL TURF AND COMPLETELY FENCED IN. SO YOU BRING YOUR PUPS, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE YOU CAN SHOW THAT THEY’RE VACCINATED, BUT YOU BRING THEM IN AND THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE A PAJAMA THEMED PARTY. SO YOU AND YOUR DOG DRESS IN YOUR PAJAMAS, THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE A CONTEST. BEST FIT, BEST MATCHING HUMAN DOG DUO, AND BEST BEST PJS, OF COURSE. SO LOTS OF SNACKS. YOU CAN SIT THERE, YOU CAN GRAB A BEVERAGE, SIT BY THE FIRE PIT, WATCH YOUR PUP, MAKE SOME NEW FRIENDS. AND OF COURSE, THEY’RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE A PEDICURE POP UP WHERE YOUR PUPS WILL BE TAKEN INTO A NICE, QUIET, CALMING ROOM AND HAVE A QUICK NAIL TRIM. OKAY. WELL, BEAUTIFUL. HEY, EVERYONE’S GOT TO GET THEIR NAILS DONE. BEAUTIFUL ALSO. SO IF YOU DON’T HAVE A DOG, IS THERE ANOTHER EVENT THAT MAYBE YOU COULD DO? YES, WE HAVE GOT A HOUSE PLANT SWAP AT MITCHELL HOWELLS I LOVE THIS IDEA. IT’S PRETTY QUICK FROM 10 A.M. TO NOON, BUT YOU TAKE YOUR HEALTHY, PEST FREE PLANTS TO MALL HALLS AND YOU’LL GET POINTS. THEN YOU TAKE THOSE POINTS AND YOU USE THEM TO SHOP FOR GREENERY THAT IS NEW TO YOU. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS. YOU GET TO KIND OF NETWORK, MAKE FRIENDS IN THE PLANT COMMUNITY AND YOU KNOW YOU CAN MAKE SOME NEW BUDS. YOU GO GET IT. YOU SEE. YES. I HIT YOU LATER. WELL, IT’S JUST GOING TO BE SUCH A GREAT WEEKEND TO GET OUTSIDE AND JUST EVEN MAYBE JUST DRIVE TO THE LOCATION YOU’RE GOING TO GO TO NEXT. SO IS THERE ANOTHER EVENT THAT PEOPLE CAN ENJOY? YES. THIS ONE’S VERY COOL. AND IT’S RIGHT IN TIME FOR THE WINTER OLYMPICS. SO SLEDDING AT HITCHCOCK CRESCENT HILL AT HITCHCOCK. I KNOW IT’S CRAZY TO THINK ABOUT SLEDDING AFTER. WE’VE JUST BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW NICE THE WEATHER IS, BUT THIS IS NOT LIKE SLEDDING WHEN WE WERE KIDS. SO IT’S AFTER DARK AND WHAT YOU DO IS YOU RIDE THE CHAIRLIFT ALL THE WAY UP AND THEN THEY GIVE YOU A BOBSLED AND YOU GO SHOOTING DOWN THE HILL. WOW, THIS IS WILD. I MEAN, I, I’M A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT IT BECAUSE I’VE NEVER DONE SLEDDING WHERE YOU HAVE TO TAKE A CHAIRLIFT TO GET TO THE TOP OF THE HILL. BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. PLUS, CRESCENT HILL IS JUST SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SPOT. IT IS. IT IS KIND OF WEIRD TO THINK ABOUT YOU. WE WOULD NORMALLY PROBABLY BE THERE IN FEBRUARY, BUT NO. BUT NOW YOU CAN GO THERE, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT, DIP YOUR TOE IN AND THEN GO BACK HOME. RIGHT. WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH, JASMINE. THANK YOU. VISIT OMAHA HAS SEVERAL OTHER EVENTS GOING ON THIS WEEKEND THAT ARE WORTH CHECKING OUT. REMEMBER, IF YOU MISSED ANYTHING, IT’S ONLINE@K
