Dart to the people who complain there's nothing to do in Salisbury and Rowan County.
Look at all the things happening today.
For foodies, there's the BBQ Festival in Spencer or the Strawberry Fest in Gold Hill.
Art lovers can spend a day on Easy Street in Salisbury.
Music lovers should stop by tonight and hear "Sassy Blues" performers Eden Brent and Bob Paolino at the Looking Glass Artist Collective's Black Box Theater.
Families have choices that include the "Bear Tales" and "Laser Zeppelin" shows at Horizons Unlimited's planetarium, the Cleveland Spring Fest (with fireworks at 9:15 p.m.) or Waterworks' Family Fun Day at the Trolley Barn.
Peace and harmony find their way again to the Let's Get Connected Day at Sloan Park.
Sportsmen can down-throttle to the cruise-in for boats, rods and bikes at High Rock Boat & Ski Club.
Pet lovers buoy the aspirations for a Faithful Friends Animal Sanctuary when they spend money at today's yard sale at the former K-town Furniture store on East Innes Street.
When people attend a hot dog dinner and raffle at Mount Zion United Church of Christ, they are raising money for Rachel Rawlings, who is battling H1N1 and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
And don't forget the Kannapolis Intimidators' game tonight at Fieldcrest-Cannon Stadium. Hey, the Intimidators have fireworks, too.
