Can you believe it is the last weekend of January? Say goodbye to this cold-weather month with a fun weekend in Albany County! Friday is the Capital Repertory Theatre’s opening of “Paris Time: World Premiere,” a fascinating drama that looks behind the headlines at anti-Semitism in today’s France. If you are searching for some kid-friendly fun, head over to the New York State Museum on Saturday to celebrate the Erie Canal with songs and stories from musician Dave Ruch. While you are at the museum, take a spin on the NYS Museum Carousel and check out the Enterprising Waters: New York's Erie Canal exhibit as well!
