Oh Yeah! It's free's: weekly top 5

In today's economy people are truly recognizing the value of dollar. As a college student, I know all about pinching pennies here and storing a dollar there. Though I recognize the importance of the "saving for the rainy day" theory, I am young and still want to have fun. Therefore, I decided to scour the world wide web and present  to you the first ever "Oh Yeah! It's Free: weekly top 5".  Each week I will be updating you with the local free events & goodies...Enjoy!

Expect cultural singing and dancing as well as samplings of delicious Southeast Asian cuisine.

Perseid Meteor Shower
For more information

5. Contemplating a quiet morning under the stars? Then spread a blanket out during the mornings of August 11-13th and watch the Perseid Meteor Shower. What I have concluded from my research, is that the meteors will be most visible a few hours before dawn. The sights are described as fascinating and, quite possibly, worth missing a few winks of sleep.
