Get Out: Patch's Pick-and-Choose Weekend Planner

At Patch, we're thinking spring these days.

The warmer weather has us throwing open windows, beckoning us outside - conjuring up (very distant) memories of eating on a porch, cold cocktails and flip-flops.

We're not quite there yet, though. This weekend's temperatures are supposed to hover in the 60s with a possibility of rain on Saturday. Boo.

In the name of optimism, though, we're listing a few activity options to get you outdoors and a few indoor ones in case, well, those dang April showers...you how the saying goes.

1.

Where/When: , 22200 Davis Mill Rd, Germantown. Open every Saturday and Sunday in April (except Easter) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Why Go: This is going to be a kids "eggstravaganza" but there's reason for adults to come out, too, if the weather is nice. There will be hayrides, live chicks and bunnies (omg! you've got to be kidding me! how cute!), and a rubber ducky derby. Food will also be available for sale. At Butler's Orchard, the Easter Bunny's come early.

Pricing: Tickets are $8 for children and $6 for adults. (See, there's even an adult "discount"!)

2.

Where/When: Parilla Performing Arts Center at , 51 Mannakee St., Rockville.

Why Go: This week-long week-long festival celebrates "the work of William Shakespeare featuring master classes, performances, lectures and workshops."

Pricing: General admission tickets are $10. Tickets for students, senior citizens and Montgomery College employees are available for $8.

3.

Where/When: Boat House at , 18701 Montgomery Village Ave., Montgomery Village. Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon.

Why Go: Join the Friends of Lake Whetstone to clean up the park on Saturday.  It's a great way to get outside and help out the community, at the same time.

Pricing: Volunteering is free, silly!

4.

Where/When: , 12051 Rockville Pike, Rockville. Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Why Go: This Roller Derby Team will be raising money outside Giant Food in Rockville on Saturday by selling homemade baked goods and bags of their special label coffee. Be sure to stop by to support the team and stock up on goodies - we're pretty sure you've already ploughed through those boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. (At least, we have.)

Pricing: Prices on baked goods vary.

5. Charlie Chaplin's "The Gold Rush" with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra

Where/When: , 10701 Rockville Pike, North Bethesda. Friday, 8 p.m.

Why Go: For old movie buffs, this event is a must-see. According to the Strathmore website, "The Little Tramp seeks his fortune during the Klondike gold rush in Charlie Chaplin’s 1925 masterpiece featuring the immortal “dance of the dinner rolls.” Chaplin’s favorite film will be shown in its entirety with his original musical score performed by the BSO."

Pricing: Tickets range in price from $28 to $88.
