Get Out This Weekend for Bowling, Running and Music

You've probably seen our O'Fallon Patch two planners, designed to help plan family friendly and grown-up weekend plans. Starting today we're combining the two to provide one-stop shopping for finding activities that appeal to kids and adults. Look for this new "Get Out" planner every Thursday at 6 a.m. Each one will feature at least five fun events, destinations and activities in or around O'Fallon.
