Pet a goat and prep for V-day: Fridays are free this month at Miller Park Zoo! While you’re there, be sure to stop by the Zootique for Valentine’s-themed gift packages and cards. The latter is a 25-pack featuring the zoo’s most popular animals with mini-figurines ideal for kiddos’ classmates. bloomingtonparks.org.
Eat cake with Abe: Honest Abe blows out 215 candles at his annual birthday bash. The family-friendly event, held at the former home of one of his closest friends, includes cake, crafts and a selfie station with (a guy dressed like) the 16th President. 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Saturday at David Davis Mansion; free. daviddavismansion.org.
Give a little, get a little: Clear out your craft drawer by dropping unused art supplies off this weekend, or swapping the colors, brushes and threads you don’t want for the ones you do. It’s not a quid pro quo situation: Give what you wish and take what you need… with snacks! 2-4 p.m. Saturday at West Bloomington Revitalization Project. westbloomington.org.
