Local bands, Waterfire, roller derby, and a disaster flick about disease are on the schedule this weekend.

As summer begins to wind down, there are plenty of great events to keep you entertained. Some of this week's choices are Waterfire, a Simon and Garfunkel tribute act, and a lovely film about a disease that threatens to wipe out mankind.

Great Escape: Dinner On A Budget And Great Entertainment

Rockers, campers, and fans of bald blue men all have something to look forward to this weekend.

As always, we have a list of local favorites where you can grab a bite to eat before heading out for the evening. With gas heading for $4 per gallon, why drive to another town when there are great restaurants right here? Once you get your fill at one of Johnston's  restaurants, it's time to venture out on the town. There's a little something for everyone this week.
