5 Things You Should Know Today - March 29, 2012
Never mind the MegaMillions, a Farmington area charity offers the chance for you to win big tonight.
Okay, so you didn't win the MegaMillions jackpot. There's still a local chance to take home a more modest cash prize, while helping out a local service organization:
1. The weather
There may be patchy frost on the ground today before 8 a.m., according to the National Weather Service. Look for lots of sun and a high today around 50, with tonight's low around 32.
2. Queen of Hearts raffle
If you haven't spent all your money on MegaMillions tickets, consider stopping by John Cowley & Sons tonight at 9 p.m. for the Farmington Rotary Club's progressive Queen of Hearts raffle. Tickets are just $1, and the pot gets bigger every week. You can buy tickets at the pub or from any Rotarian; the money supports the civic group's charitable efforts.
3. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead
This weekend is your last chance to see Oakland Community College's production of this modern dramatic tale of Hamlet, told from the worm's-eye view of two of Shakespeare's bewildered minor characters. Show are at 8 p.m. tonight, Friday and Saturday at the Orchard Ridge campus in Farmington Hills.
4. Look ahead: Annual Health Fair - Project Healthy Living
On Friday, the Farmington Area Commission on Aging and the Farmington Hills Senior Division host this day of free health screenings with optional low-cost blood and other tests at the Costick Center, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. You'll also receive counseling and referrals, if necessary. Pre-registration is necessary for some tests; visit projecthealthyliving.net to learn more.
5. Look ahead: One Starry Night Earth Hour
Farmington Hills Nature Discovery Center hosts this event Saturday, 7 p.m.-9 p.m., with a local astronomer who will tell you all about the stars, planets and phases of the moon. Children will learn to use a star wheel that they create. Children must be at least 5 years old to attend. Cost is $5, $15 per family of four. Registration is available online at https://recreg.fhgov.com or in person at the Costick Center between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
