Need weekend plans? We have you covered!

Bring your pup to the pool

Summer is about beating the heat -- even for man's best friend. Every August, several public pools and water parks in Dallas-Fort Worth open their facilities to dogs for special events. On Saturday, the Crawford Park Pool in Cedar Hill is hosting Paws in the Pool-ooza, while the Vanston Pool in Mesquite is hosting Doggie Splash Day. Both events cost $5 for pet and owner and include fun activities like doggie paddle races.

On Sunday, Wet Zone Waterpark in Rowlett hosts the Pooch Plunge, which is largely the same concept. That event, however, costs $10 per dog and owners get in free.

Rally for a good cause

The Blondes vs. Brunettes powder puff football game this weekend offers locals a chance to support a good cause. The female players have spent the last several months raising donations that benefit several Alzheimer's causes. This year, they expect to hit $600,000 in donations. If they do that, the group's total over 10 years will breach $3.4 million.

The game comes to the Cotton Bowl field on Saturday. Spectators will be admitted with a $25 donation.

Catch a flick with a celebrity

Also on Saturday, Dallasites have a chance to watch The Princess Bride alongside one of its stars. Cary Elwes is coming to the Majestic Theatre in Dallas, which is hosting the screening followed by a Q&A with he actor. Tickets start at $16.75.

Get your groove on

As far as concerts go this weekend, Rod Stewart and Cyndi Lauper are coming to the Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie for a double-headlining show on Friday night. Tickets are going for about $90 to $180.

Over in Dallas, the Gorilla vs. Bear festival is making a return to the Bomb Factory on Saturday night. Chillwave band Washed Out is headlining with support from up and coming indie artists Jessy Lanza and She-Devils, among others. Tickets for that cost $28.

Tiney Ricciardi offers her weekend event picks every Thursday morning at 7:40 a.m. on 570AM KLIF.
