Spring is in full bloom, and so are the local events.

On Saturday, cheer on your favorite Mountaineer Little League team at the all-day Dirty Day With the Dirty Birds event at GoMart Ball Park, or enjoy wildlife presentations at the Hoot & Holler wildlife show at the Claudia L. Workman Wildlife Education Center in Alum Creek. Saturday evening, parktake in locally-sourced cuisine at the Celebrating the Season Dinner in Malden or the Murder Mystery Dinner Show in Charleston. Cap your Saturday night with live entertainment at the Mountain State Music Showcase or Comedian Steve Sabo’s show, both in downtown Charleston. Finally, reset with a relaxing Yoga Hike at Kanawha State Forest on Sunday afternoon.
