Happy Thursday everyone!! The new Metromix hit newsstands this morning...pick one up all you Nap-towners for the best things to do in Indy this weekend!

I love Labor Day weekend...for multiple reasons. One...LONG WEEKEND!! Which also translates to mean short work week next week! holla!! Two...my birthday is Saturday!! That's reason enough to celebrate!

Alright, now here's the good stuff: the top four things to do in Indy this weekend (insert drumroll here)

Dog Expo
Monday, September 6
You have the day off of work--and there's no better way to spend it than with man's best friend. Pamper your pooch at the Dog Expo in Carmel. He/she an take a refreshing swim in the Monon Community Center's pool, open just for Fido and Rover. Need to get your dog caught up on vaccinations? You can do that here too, for a low cost.

There's no time like the present to begin your child's quest for athletic glory. After all, Tiger Woods was hitting golf balls at the ripe age of 2...wait...is he even a good example anymore?

Start their training early and then ejoy a picnic lunch and a free tour of the NCAA Hall of Champions.
