Got Friday night plans?

Tonight’s Late Night at the Phog, of course, but if you aren’t checking out the Jayhawks’ first official scrimmage of 2011-2012, how about helping out local school gardens with your Friday night?

The Homegrown Lawrence Festival starts at 5:30 p.m. at Abe and Jakes with a dinner catered by The Merc and then garden presentations and performances by four local bands will follow. Tickets are $10 at the door for the presentations and bands. If you come hungry and early, there may be a few extra dinner tickets for $25 ($5 more than if you bought them early online). Food tickets are not guaranteed, though.

For more information, check out our longer story about it. And if you come by, make sure to say hey at the Lawrence Journal-World/WellCommons/Lawrence.com booth.
