Counter Culture Coffee Cupping.

UG Biological Sciences.

Stop by between classes to learn about fun bugs in a touchy-feely way (very unlike the foot-insect-floor encounters students may normally experience).

UGA Greenhouse on Riverbend.
8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Cost depends on purchase.
The Horticulture Club brings out all kinds of locally grown plants just in time for spring.
The Whigs, Dark Meat, The Sammies.

Fluke Mini-Comics Festival.
Tasty World.
11 a.m. - 6 p.m.

9:30 p.m.
