Happy Cinco de Mayo! It’s time to geek out, you upstate New Yorkers. The reason for that is it’s free comic book day this Saturday. It’s also a new month, new weather, new outlook and a new weekend for more CNY events and activities. It may be a cooler weekend ahead, but a little bit of Sunday snow never put a damper on anyone’s weekend. Creekfloats and crawls, upstanding plays and stand-up comedy, art and music showcases, plus much more to look forward to.
