3) Sports Weekend on Cascade:

Where/When: Applebee’s, 3690 Cascade Road. Game day is the full weekend (TBA). 

The Event: Fall Classic. BCS rankings. The gridiron. All true sports fans know what those words mean: the World Series has started, the official college football BCS rankings have come out and the NFL season is in full swing. So get out the house and come on down to your Cascade Applebee’s and enjoy delicious nachos, wings and things or any one of Applebee’s signature appetizers or meal and chase it down with your favorite drink.

Enjoy the bar setting and clown around with the staff and other bar patrons or sit back and relax at a table and get with your friends and family and root for your favorite team(s). "Go Texas!" That’s what I’ll be saying as the St. Louis Cardinals, behind Albert Pujols, travel to Texas (Arlington that is) to face Nelson Cruz and the Texas Rangers in games 3 and 4 of the World Series. Both games start at 8:05 p.m. All day Saturday, starting at 11, and all day Sunday, starting at 1 p.m., will be football, college, Saturday and the big boys on Sunday.

Get ready get ready as it’s time to separate the contenders from the pretenders.
