Poster by Eric de Barros.

This is going to be a weekend full of art and music — gotta expect that from Sarasota — but it’s also a great weekend to get generous with local charities, and also perhaps a little sporty on Siesta Key Beach! These are my top picks, but what about yours? This Week In Sarasota is crazy for your input, so don’t be shy in letting me know what you’re up to this weekend. See you out there … maybe in the rain, maybe in the sunshine, but always for a good time.

Kirsten Sponseller

Kirsten started out on the scene doing catering and events coordinating. She parlayed that experience and her relationships with the movers and shakers of Sarasota into a way to help spread her knowledge of what's going on in Sarasota every weekend. Growing up in Sarasota, leaving and living all over the U.S., to return to a city she is proud of makes Kirsten a valuable, positive member of what's good in Sarasota.

Kiristen, there is a benefit going on all day Sat. at the Irish Pub on Main. It is the First Annual "FINISH WINE". Shamrockers USA is a teen running club. They need to raise money to go on a trip to Vancouver to run in an International Half Marathon. A percentage of your entire bill (including alcohol) goes to the kids! There will be live music there too.
