Let&#8217;s take a look at this weekend&#8217;s events and look at Things You Oughta Be doing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be a busy weekend&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;BBQ for Broadway&#8221; is happening in downtown Danville on Saturday 9\/15 from 10A &#8211; 2P. It&#8217;s a fundraiser for the Union Street Theatre, and Melissa Charles knows how to put together a great street festival. You can get a great BBQ lunch as well as support the terrific things that Union Street Theatre is doing for Danville. For details, go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unionstreettheatre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Union Street Theatre<\/a> website. I&#8217;ll see you there early in the morning&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Eden&#8217;s RiverFest runs on Friday 9\/14 from 5P &#8211; 10P then on Saturday from 10A &#8211; 10P. RiverFest is one of the best fall festivals in the entire region and I guarantee that you&#8217;ll easily spend at least 4 hours there. I&#8217;ll see you there Friday night at Stage #1 for &#8220;Too Much Sylvia&#8221; playing and I&#8217;ll be back all day Saturday having a great time. Make your way to the Leaksville section of Eden and get ready for a great time. Free shuttles are running from the Kingsway Plaza so you don&#8217;t have to worry about parking.

Seven wineries will be there sampling their products and there&#8217;s plenty of other stuff to do at the beautiful Avoca Museum.
