What's Happening This Weekend in Bristol and Warren?

You just knew it couldn't last forever — the excellent spring weather of the last week or so has given way to a weekend forecast of partly sunny skies and the threat of rain.

Still, the rain should hold off long enough to get out to some of the outdoor activities on the slate for Bristol and Warren — and there are plenty of indoor things happening to dodge the drops.
