Weekend: From standing eggs to SPAMALOT to some other pretty big stories, too

What’s up this weekend:

FRIDAY

Standing Ovation celebrates 30 years of upright eggs on the Spring Equinox Friday. In 1985, a small group of Rome artists decided to make an experiment: would eggs balance on end on the first day of spring? The first event was successful and the Egg Balance has become a Rome tradition. Gather at noon on Friday on the steps of the Clocktower at the corner of East Fifth Avenue and East Second Street. Please bring your own eggs. (Spring officially starts at 6:46 that evening).

The 22nd annual Every Child’s a Star to benefit Advocates for Children will be at 7 p.m. at Cass High School Auditorium, 1000 Colonel Way, White. Details
