What are you doing this weekend? Not sure? Well, Patch has you covered.
You could meet a former New Jersey governor and tell him how much you love or hate the one currently in office. You could learn to protect yourself. Or you could get yourself into swimsuit shape with a dance claass. And, of course, you could do more. But that's just a sampling of what's in store in this week's "Get Out!," a weekly feature where we detail the weekends coolest local events for your planning pleasure.
