People looking for something to do this weekend can take time out to meet a Trail Blazers star, watch a Veteran's Parade or puppet show, or enjoy some local entertainment at area clubs.

On Saturday, Trail Blazers guard Andre Miller will be signing autographs at the grand opening celebration of the new DICK's Sporting Goods at Lake Oswego's Meridian Square.

Also Saturday, folks can head to Vancouver for the 23rd annual Veteran's Parade which will include organizations representing all branches of the service, high school marching bands, college and high school ROTC groups and Boy Scout troops, to name just a few of the participants.

Or you could take the kids to a musical puppet show called Penny's Puppet Productions at the Northwest Library, located at 2300 N.W. Thurman Street.

Want to just hang out and listen to some music? See Muddy Rudder at the Public House, if you're in the mood for some Irish music, or take in some blues at Andina Restaurant with Toshi Oniquka on Saturday and Scott Head on Sunday.

On Sunday, The Portland Art Museum is having a free family day or you could head to the Children's Book Bank at 1728 NE Glisan for an open house. Attendees will have the chance to enter a raffle.
