Why It Matters / Other Notes
Weekend events offer things for many interests: outdoors, sports, live music, family activities.
The OSU game typically brings lots of crowd energy and has effects on traffic; good to plan ahead.
Metro Parks offerings are good weather-contingent; if it rains, some outdoor events might be affected.
