Yoga

Check out Moonlight Yoga on Thursday from 9-10 p.m.

Organizers say you can enjoy the Sturgeon Moon at Legacy Park Amphitheater in Lee's Summit while doing yoga that is restful and slow-paced, focusing on passive stretches to encourage physical, mental and emotional relaxation.

It's $12 if you pre-register or $15 at the gate.

Dog Day at the Park

Head over to Independence on Saturday from 1–7 p.m., and bring your dogs to George Owens Nature Park for Dog Day at the Park.

There will be a number of different activities, including:

• Kiddie pools for your dogs to splash around in.
• Playful activities for you and your dog to enjoy.
• Tasty treats courtesy of the Independence Animal Shelter.

It’s free to attend, and you and your four-legged friend can enjoy the nature park. Organizers say all dogs must remain on a leash.

Charm Hunt

The Leavenworth Charm Hunt returns this weekend.

I actually heard about this at our Let's Talk event out in Leavenworth last summer.

It's Thursday from noon to 6 p.m.; Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

You can pick up a map at 500 Delaware Street and visit each store on the map for a free charm to make a charm bracelet.

Organizers say you can spend the weekend getting to know downtown by charm hunting, shopping, eating and staying.

Bracelets are for sale at the stores on the map — $5 each or spend $20 in a business along the map and get a bracelet for free.

Woof Fest

Woof Fest is coming to the KC Wheel, bringing together dog lovers, their four-legged best friends and a great cause.

Tickets are $30. It's happening now through Sept. 3. 

Each Woof Fest ticket includes:

• Admission for one human, two dogs
• One digital photo package
• A pup cup treat

That's a look at your Weekend Fun with 41! Be safe.
