Howdy, friends! So many cool things lining up, and so little time… So, keeping with the spirit of the spring theme, we’ve compiled your cheat sheet for getting outdoors this weekend and hopefully planning the best use of your free time.

And speaking of maxin’ out your time in the sun, what’s cooler than hanging poolside on one of Nashville’s coolest rooftops? Add a local vendor market to the mix, you say? Now you’re just getting greedy! LOL, Join this weekend for the Spring Vendor Market at Grand Hyatt and sign up now to win pool passes so you can work on that spring tan and maybe pick up some Mother’s Day gifts while you’re at it.
