Editor's Pick for the Weekend

There are two excellent events happening in College Park this weekend.

The first, as you already know, is Berwyn Day. A longstanding College Park tradition, Berwyn Day will feature such kid friendly activities as a moon bounce and arts and crafts table. Let them work off their bake sale-induced sugar rush with old fashioned games like an egg toss and gunnysack race. In the meantime, grown-ups can enjoy a plant and garden show, booths from local vendors and a performance from the Fugitive Brass Band.

Berwyn Day will be held from 12 p.m. - 4 p.m. at the Berwyn Neighborhood Playground.

On Friday and Saturday night, The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center will be showcasing "The Matter of Origins," a visual tour through the world of physics from the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange. According to the website, the first act will consist of a performance that incorporates dance, video and a "vivid soundscape." Act 2 will involve chocolate cake made with recipe from Edith Warner, whose tea house was a gathering place for many of the scientists behind the Manhattan Project.

Cost of a ticket to "The Matter of Origins": $35 ($28 for subscribers). Enjoying the same cake that J. Robert Oppenheimer once did: Priceless.
