Saturday
Shanghai Garage Sale
The Shanghai Restaurant is cleaning
out their basement and is having a huge garage sale. You may be
thinking to yourself “Why would I need a bunch of restaurant
stuff?” Answer:
because it's not just a bunch of restaurant stuff! There'll be lamps,
vintage plates, aprons, furniture, teacups, and more.
There will also be refreshments (a must for any event worth leaving your house for) and entertainment — Django Libre will be playing alongside Ottawa's famous China China Doll.

Serbian Festival
There's an old Serbian saying that
goes do not measure the wolf's tail till he is dead.
If
you have no idea what that means seek answers at the 2012 Serbian
Festival at the Serbian Orthodox Church.
There is going to be lots of sports tournaments, arts&crafts for children, Serbian folk dancing lessons, and food. Oh, the food.

All Weekend
Whales Tohorā
You've had since March. This is the
last weekend to behold the undersea world of whales. This incredibly
interactive and visually striking exhibit explores the relationship
between humans and whales, the relatives of the whale such as
porpoises and dolphins, and the future of the species. There is no
photography allowed so bring your sketch pad or turn the flash on
your iPhone off.
Canadian Museum of Nature, 240 McLeod Street. 9a.m.-6p.m. $12.00. 613-566-4700

Psychic, Mystic, and Seers
Fair
I am such a sucker for this sort of
entertainment.
“Dana, we should totally have our
palms read.”
“Pssht,” says I.
But I am putty in their hands. I want the seer to be right so bad that I'll coax them along to the correct answer. I wander away totally ready to use my new information to my grand advantage.
It isn't until later that I'll get all
squinty-eyed and suspicious.
I'm not an only child... I have a dog, not a cat... I hate shellfish.

...hey....
It doesn't matter, though. I 'll go
back every time. And I'll leave with an energy-crystal, dammit.
I expect this to be great fun.
