Art Fresco

There’s a difference between liking art and appreciating art, and a lot of that difference comes down to understanding. Increase your art IQ at the Edmond Visual Arts Commission’s Art in Public Places Tour. This combination walking/riding tour of public art in Edmond includes the city’s multiple downtown murals and sculptures, followed by lunch from the KickingBird Golf Course Grill and a luxurious ride in the Edmond Parks & Recreation Department’s 15-passenger van. April 20. Tickets, $15. Call (405) 359-4630 or visit visitedmondok.com

Stillwater Pastime

Have a ball in Stillwater this week with some Oklahoma State Men’s Baseball. Watch as they take on Arkansas-Pine Bluff back to back days. With thirty-one conference championships and a World Series Title in 1959, OSU baseball has always brought the goods to their fans. Come for one or come for both, but don’t miss out on some of the state's best players battling out on the field. April 20 & 21. Tickets, $5. (405) 744-7714 or okstate.com

Film buffs rejoice! Oklahoma’s film festival count is spiking higher than candy prices in the lobby.

Funny Runners

The annual spring Cargo Classic 5k & Fun Run will be full of heart pumping action for anyone willing to take on the challenge. The 5k will be for the people trying to get a serious workout in, while the majority of us will be huffing and puffing along on the fun run for a more lackadaisical endeavor. Whichever you are, make sure to sign up to walk, run, or go your own pace! April 24. Tickets, $30-$40. (405) 275-9780 or runsignup.com
