FREE THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK 3/29-4/4

I apologize for the awful layout of this post.  No matter what I tried it just wouldn't align right or even look remotely nice.  I am working on a solution so that these "Things to Do" posts will be much easier to access/read.  Hopefully you will see results by next week.
