Some party highlights

Hey everybody! It's a pretty full weekend for local entertainment. I'll post your full lineup a little later this afternoon, but I wanted to quickly point out some standout options:

*Friday, bluegrass queen Rhonda Vincent performs at the Phenix City Amphitheater. Tickets are $10 and show starts at 8 p.m. In case of rain, the event will be held at Central Activities Center, 1500 14th Street in Phenix City.

*Also on Friday, the rockers from Framing Hanley take the stage at H2O, 6499 Veterans Parkway. These guys made waves with their rock cover of Lil Wayne's "Lollipop." Tickets are $15. Music starts at 10:30 p.m.

*Saturday, "The Amazing Race" holds a casting call on the 1100 block of Broadway. It's 4-6 p.m. Participants must be 21. You must bring a completed application, which you can download here.

*Later Saturday, catch the Midnight Express 5K race at Country's, 3137 Mercury Drive. The race is at midnight, but the fun starts much earlier. There's music beginning at 8, plus you can watch some brave people walk across a bed of hot coals. (Yes, I'm one of them.)

*Sunday, the Ultimate Bridal Expo comes to the RiverMill Event Center, 3715 First Ave. It's 1-5 p.m. and admission is $3-$5. Added bonus: I'm modeling in the fashion show.
