Oh, Fair Mother

What to do on Mother's Day? Hmm. You could take her out to dinner for the umpteenth time, but that's what everyone does. This year, switch it up a bit by taking her to the Art Fair at Laumeier Sculpture Park (12580 Rott Road, Sunset Hills). Jewelry, glass art, photography, wood art and sculpture hand-crafted by 150 artists from around the nation make Laumeier your one-stop Mom shop. Seriously, we bet that Mom would rather you buy her a handmade bracelet than a chicken Caesar salad. It'll warm her heart every time she wears it. The fair officially kicks off Friday at 6 p.m. and continues from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday (May 12 through 14), but take Mom today and she gets a double present: time with her favorite child and the gift you buy her. Admission is $5 to $8; for more information check out www.laumeier.org or call 314-821-1209.
