96 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 7.15
20 More Things To
Do This Summer
GoCards.com/kickofgame
1. Brew at the Zoo tickets go on sale
July 1. That means you should put down this
magazine right now and buy your tickets to the
fundraiser, which sells out faster than a Prince
concert at the Palace.
2. Take the advice of a 10-year-old named
Ainsley, who had just downed a Mountain
Dew at El Mundo when we overhead this
quote about Holiday World in Santa Claus,
Indiana: "Look up HolidayWorld.com. You can
see all the rides on video, and it's craaaaazy!
Holiday World has the top-fve roller coaster"
— we're assuming that's the Thunderbird,
which accelerates from 0 mph to 60 mph in 3
½ seconds, or the wooden Voyage — "and it's
really, really, really, really, really, really fun! And
Holiday World gives free Mountain Dew!"
3. Read Hurry Please I Want to Know, the
latest short-story collection from University
of Louisville creative writing professor Paul
Griner. These stories range from surreal shorts
— a man resurrects his dead mother only to
fnd her annoying; another leaves a funeral
and takes a ride in a hot air balloon — to long
narratives full of strange worlds and struggling
human hearts. Griner shows us hearts in
the deserts of Iraq, hearts in the streets of
Butchertown, hearts even in a too-full closet.
4. Read Wander Louisville, a new "visual
guidebook" to our city.
5. No, you're not at a church-carnival cakewalk.
Those are Frank F. Weisberg's photorealistic
dessert paintings at the Jewish Community
Center's Patio Gallery (through July 14).
6. Play disc golf at Iroquois Park. When you
get the hang of it, take on the narrow, wooded
course at Charlie Vettiner Park. Let us know
if you fnd that neon-green disc we lost in the
woods there two summers ago.
7. Throughout July, WUOL-FM is putting on its
free classic summer concerts, including the
Louisville Orchestra July 4th at Waterfront
Park.
8. "Love, Shirley Temple," July 3-8 at the
Frazier History Museum, will exhibit some 200
items from the actress' personal collection,
from dolls and autograph books to costumes
and photos.
9. Yes, we already told you about some of our
favorite ice cream a few pages back. One more:
Tasty Tuxedo Treats. Since April, Madison
Hamman and Jimmy Mai have been riding
