Get Out: It's a Double Dose of Ideas

Patch offers you 10 great weekend events.

Last week, Gloucester Township Patch gave you the green light to check out other Patch towns' events calendars (click on the “Change Towns” option at the top of your screen). We also gave you our standard five picks for fun ways to spend your weekend.

Maybe it’s spring fever or maybe we’re just really excited about time away from work, but today you’re getting a double dose of "Get Out" events.

With ten options, you’re bound to find something you’ll enjoy! There are four events that take place tonight. (In honor of municipal offices being closed each Friday, Patch has made Thursday night a weekend night.)
