Mother’s Day is always a great opportunity to have the family join together. The weather is typically beautiful, Mom is happy because everyone is at her beck and call as well as flowering her with gifts. Sometimes it is forgotten that just spending time together is all a mother wants. This May 9th, Barmuda is offering the perfect opportunity to spend time together with a line up of brunches and dinners.

“Even though the idea of Mother’s Day is about celebrating mothers and the wonderful things they do for their families, it gives the impression of be-ing more of a family holiday,” explains Tara Smiley, Vice President of Operations. “That is why we offer brunches and dinners. We want families to come together, enjoy each other’s company and not worry about cooking.”

Park Place Event Centre and Sky Event Centre are offering their annual brunches. The price of the brunch at Sky is only $19.99 for adults and $8.99 for children 10 and under. Park Place is offering a wider selection of items to choose from including an omelet station and is priced at $24.99 for adults and $9.99 for children. Both are highlighted with chef-attended meat carving stations, salad bar and a dessert sta-tion. Whether you are a breakfast or lunch enthusiast, each location can satisfy your craving with a variety of options.

Bourbon Street in Cedar Falls and Grinnell are pre-paring a dual option meal for Mother’s Day. Guests have the chance to choose between brandy and or-ange chicken with stuffed shrimp or beef tenderloin filet with fresh tarragon butter. Either meal is available for just $20.99. As an added bonus mothers may re-ceive flowers from either Flowerama in Cedar Falls or Flowers on Fourth in Grinnell.

It is recommended that reservations be made to guarantee seating.Llisted below are the phone numbers for each venue.

On Saturday, May 8, Voodoo Lounge in downtown Cedar Falls will be overflowing with guitar riffs and snare drum beats as The Black Mollys and WAGG descend upon the live music hangout for a two show set.

The Black Mollys are described as old-fashioned American

rock and roll blended with alternative rock elements of today. The Chicago based band has molded

their sound from constant touring over the last de-

cade. They also spent some time touring in Europe where

they recorded Ignorance is Bliss at the renowned Abbey Road Studios in 2008.

WAGG is a Cedar Valley favorite drawing their influence from Journey, Lover Boy, Foreigner, Billy Joel and Eric

Clapton.

Doors open at Voodoo Lounge at 4 p.m. Showtime is 9:30 p.m. and admission is $8. For more information, visit

JAKE McVEYEnd of Semester Hoedown

Rising Country Music star Jake McVey is performing at Shags on Thursday, May 6th. Jake’s song “Carry On’ even reached #4 on CMT’s Pure 12 Pack and Billboard named him one of the Top Ten touring acts.

“Country night has always done well at Shags,” says General Manager Jay Ybarra. “Guests love our large dance floor and sure it is a unique venue for country night, but it shows you don’t have to look country, to love and be country.”

Born in Iowa, McVey has built a fan base by touring extensively. He has opened for Martina McBride, Sugarland, Dierks Bentley, and has also played at the Iowa State Fair.

The show is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. Shags specials are $2.00 bottles and drinks from 7 p.m. to close. Doors open at 7 p.m. and admission is $5.

For more information about Shags and the upcoming show, visit www.barmuda.com/shags.
