COVINGTON, Ky. - Whether you’re nuts about high school sports, spending time with your significant other, or trying odd taste combinations, this is the weekend for you.

 

Northern Kentuckians are just bonkers about high school sports, and that’s a fact. (EDITORS’ NOTE: Whether that’s 100 percent-always a good thing would be a voracious argument. ... But we digress.)

 

Behringer-Crawford Museum is tapping into that phenomenon with a new exhibit that opens Saturday: Northern Kentucky Sports Legends. It features a wide array of memorabilia from some of the 1,400 N. Ky. Sports Hall of Fame members, plus some festivities at the opening in the morning.

 

As The Boss sang, “I had a friend was a big baseball player ...”

 

Details, HERE.

 

A few (post-) V-day events:

If your partner has forced you to watch an endless stream of romantic comedies over the years of your relationship, then here is where the torture pays off: Rom-Com Movie Trivia on Friday night at Keystone Bar & Grill.

 

Yep, there’s no telling what names, quotes and facts have lodged in your brain, courtesy of all those sappy endings and predictable plots.

 

Info, HERE.

 

Take a tired old argument: What’s your favorite Girl Scout cookie? Add a newer, Covington-based debate: What’s your favorite Braxton Brewing creation? Now ... intertwine the discussion.

 

What you get is Sunday’s “Girl Scout Cookie and Beer Pairing at Braxton,” where for $10 you get a flight of four beers, a stack of four cookie flavors, and a tasting sheet. All you need is a willingness to explore and a semi-sophisticated palate. (Well, any old palate will do, actually.)

 

Oh, and you can buy cookies too. Info, HERE.

 

Hotel Covington is offering a free, kid-friendly “BHM All Ages Movie Night” on Sunday with the showing of two fairytales: the 1997 version of “Cinderella” (Whitney Houston, Brandy, Whoopi Goldberg) and 1978’s ground-breaking “The Wiz” (Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Richard Pryor).

 

Show your kids what the hype was all about.
