There should be no complaints about having nothing to do this weekend, especially Saturday.

Bicycling enthusiasts can enjoy the 2 Rivers on 2 Wheels Tour, that includes routes of 10, 30 or 62 miles beginning at 7 a.m.

History enthusiasts are offered the chance to join “Lincoln’s Table” with Donna McCreary, an author and Mary Todd Lincoln presenter, at the Cass County Historical Society carriage house at 11 a.m.

Arts on the Avenue takes over the Little Turtle Waterway Plaza with more than 50 artists creating and exhibiting their works from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Buselli-Wallarab Swing Orchestra will provide a musical backdrop as visitors take in the arts and activities. Kids will get the chance to be artistic or enjoy a Punch and Judy puppet show. Check out the book fair, bridge tournament, farmer’s market and food vendors.

Or you can head to Rochester for the annual Trail of Courage Living History Festival at the Fulton County Museum with its offerings of crafts, demonstrations, food and contests.

When it comes time for dinner, head out to the 44th Great Onward Chicken Fry at the fire station between 4 and 8 p.m. Or, if chicken isn’t what you’re looking for, the Lucerne Fire Station is the site of a hog roast starting at 4 o’clock.

Autumn’s Descent, a band whose music has been featured on MTV, will Rock the Block from 7 to 10 p.m. in the parking lot at the Cass County Family Y.

And then on Sunday, you can wrap up the weekend at McHale Performing Arts Center as the Actors Theatre of Indiana performs “Forever Plaid,” a musical comedy, at 7 p.m.

It looks to be a fun-filled weekend. The trick will be finding a moment to catch your breath.
