This Weekend in Cleburne: Theatre, Golf, and a Cool-Down
After a hot Thursday pushing close to 97 with the heat index, the weekend arrives with temperatures dropping into the mid-70s and mostly cloudy skies — genuinely pleasant weather for getting out. Night Watch runs all three days at the Layland Arts Center on Henderson, and there's plenty more to fill the hours between now and Sunday.

Get outside
• Cleburne State Park, 5800 Park Rd 21: With highs in the mid-70s this weekend, it's one of the better stretches of weather to hike the trails or get out on the lake.
• Field of Dinosaurs, US-67, Cleburne: The outdoor dinosaur exhibit along 67 is an easy, free stop that's a lot more enjoyable when it's not 95 degrees.
