On the roster this weekend: beading workshops, a charity run, a car show and, for those experiencing the pre-Thanksgiving jitters, plenty of comic relief with a holiday bent.

Beading presentations and workshops

Various times Friday and Saturday, Haskell Cultural Center at Haskell Indian Nations University, 155 E. Indian Ave.

A series of beading workshops and presentations will cap off a week-long celebration of American Indian arts and traditions at Haskell, beginning with a presentation by Haskell’s chief financial officer, Brenda Racehorse (of the Shoshone-Bannock tribes), on her beading artwork Friday at 1 p.m.

Also on Friday: a master beader presentation from Jessica Gokey (Ojibwe), a full-time artist specializing in floral beading, at 2 p.m.

Racehorse is also set to lead an open workshop for beginning and intermediate skill levels from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, while Gokey will teach a workshop for advanced beaders from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. that day.

Participation for Gokey’s workshop is limited to 15. To reserve a spot, email mfisher@haskell.edu.

TJ5K and Family Fun Run

9 to 10 a.m. Saturday, Lawrence First Nazarene Church, 1470 N. 1000 Road

Now in its third year, this annual race celebrates the life of Thomas John Giffin, a 21-month-old boy who died in 2012 from unknown causes. Saturday’s run benefits tiny-K Early Intervention of Douglas County, which Giffin had received services from.

Runners have their choice between the 5K portion and its winding grass trails, a one-mile walk/run (this option meanders through the same rural setting as the 5K, including views of a corn field, baled hay and a pond) and the tiny-K Fun Run for kiddos. (Children’s activities will also be on hand prior to the race.)

Vintage Motorcycle and British Car Show

2 p.m. Saturday, Frank’s North Star Tavern, 508 Locust St.

The Wheelsport Vintage Motorcycle Club and Lawrence All British Car Club are hosting this weekend’s display of fun and fabulous vehicles, complete with food from Leeway Frank’s.

Admission is free, though the snacks will cost you extra.

Right Between the Ears

5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday, Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St.

If the aisles at Dillons now crammed with candies, singing stuffed animals and other Christmas ephemera are any indication, the 2015 holiday season is underway.

Kick it off with Right Between the Ears’ annual seasonal send-up, complete with “songs, sketches and political put-downs.” Tickets for this year’s show from the local comedy group (you can catch their award-winning sketch comedy program every week on Kansas Public Radio) range from $15 to $19.

“Trading Places” screening

7 p.m. Sunday, Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St.

Catch the 1983 comedy classic (it’s got some holiday elements, too, if that appeals to you) this weekend at Liberty Hall.

This modern take on Mark Twain’s “The Prince and the Pauper” stars Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy as a snobbish commodities broker and a homeless street hustler who find themselves “trading places,” if you will, as part of an elaborate bet.

Tickets cost $8, and can be purchased at the Liberty Hall box office.
