Ughh 5k on groupon- I should have expected it to suck. I bought a groupon for 60 bucks which…read moreadmitted 4 people me, my boyfriend, my friend and her fiancee came. I had never done a color run so I was excited. It was the most disorganized run ever. Upon check in there was a giant line I am not sure what for because the registration table was not taking people from the line but anyone who just walked up. I noticed this not long after I waited thankfully. Each person had to pay an additional 5 dollars cash even with the groupon. They did not ID you or have you sign any paperwork. And they gave you 1 pack of color powder each. The area pre/post race had a couple of food trucks and vendors. In the middle was a BIG stage with a dj and some hype man type guy trying to get the energy up. There was also a woman dressed like a broke ass raggedy ann up there doing the same. The wave we were in was the 6pm one. The course itself was a joke and so unorganized that a ton of people thought the race started so they ran off. The rest of us had to wait for them to return back before they officially started the race. You had to run the course twice to complete a 5k which means you had to actually exit the course through the finish line and try to make your way through a huge crowd in the post race/dj area and enter in the starting line again. In the course the actual track was way too narrow for all the people there. People were zigzagging between others and cutting off parts of the course. I'm pretty sure I inadvertently missed a whole chunk of the course because It wasn't marked off correctly. They do throw color on you pre race, mid race and at the finish line. You end up getting covered even if you aren't trying. They have a lot of black lights in the mid race and post race area so it pops the powder color. Overall I'll never join this 5k again total rip off. A lot of kids were there and seemed to be having a blast so for families this could be a great healthy alternative to watching the Disney Channel on a saturday night.

It is a major sports and entertainment venue and is most famous as the Home of the NHL's Florida Panthers!! It hosts hockey games, concerts, family shows, and other large events, with a capacity of around 20,000 for hockey and more for concerts. Parking was $50. To save time and money, it is best to pre-purchase your parking ticket online. Ladies should check the allowed size of their handbags online or they won't get thru security. We wore our special small see-thru plastic crossbody bags made for stadiums that are a little larger than our cell phone. It's a pain but it's the rule. The Cardi B concert was great and her fans were loving the many songs that she performed. Her background dancers were fabulous. The sound machine was working perfectly. For some reason, she was 45 minutes late in appearing but we quickly forgave her once she started her wild R rated show. We had seats at the South Florida BMW Finally Suite Level on the upper and final level, where we were very comfortable and they provided delicious food and drinks for us as well as super comfy couches. Great hosts. Great seats! Great time!

This festival was previously named Artoberfest. It has now been renamed Oktoberfest and takes place…read moreon the third Saturday of the month in October on the great lawn at the Coral Springs City Hall. This year the festival was from 4 to 10 PM. You can park for free at the garage and there is no admission charge to attend. Oktoberfest features games, limited shopping, food, and entertainment. This years contests included spelling, stein race, yodeling, and a stein holding competition. Food was sold from trucks and included German favorites like schnitzel, bratwurst, pretzels and beer cheese and American cheeseburgers and fries. If you want to eat without a hassle come when they open at 4. There are a few tables set up or you can bring your own picnic gear. I meant to come earlier but got held up. Instead I tried coming after church at 7:30 and the lines for food were extremely long. I ended up skipping the food in favor of watching the band and some dancers. The event also had a beer garden but they ran out of the souvenir steins early on. This is the kind of event where you park some chairs and a blanket on the lawn and sit and relax for a few hours as you run into neighbors and friends. I never fail to see at least one and more likely several people I know. While this Oktoberfest may not be as authentic as the festival put on by the German American Club this is still a great time. It is family friendly and it was a nice evening out under the stars.

A fun free thing to do during the holidays is check out all of the lights and decorations. One of the houses surprisingly not on the list is this two story home located in Riverside Walk. This is a personal favorite of mine ever since I discovered it a few a years ago, I think it is the best use of technology. 80,000 lights are synchronized to music, graphics, and movie clips. Most of the music is Christmas songs but my favorite is when the synchronize it to Fall Out Boy's My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light it Up). To hear the music tune your radio to 88.5. This is such a good light show and it is really long too. It wraps around two sides of the house. Parking can be kind of cramped in this neighborhood so come during the week for the best view. The Light show runs Monday through Sunday from 6 PM to 11 PM nightly.
