1. Long time no see, Buki! You, too, Surapa and Jothi! From 10 a. m. to 3:30 p. m. Saturday and Sunday, party with the elephants at The Buffalo Zoo. Practice elephant art, ask a trainer the million-dollar question, and scarf down some Perry’s ice cream. All activities included with admission at the grand house of animals, 300 Parkside Ave.

2. Outside animations from Africa, Argentina and Australia. It’s Squeaky Wheel’s free outdoor film festival at Days Park between Cottage and Allen streets. Come watch “Hedgehog in the Fog” on screen! Stick around for “Mutu.” Be there, dusk Friday.

3. The bubbles are coming. The bubbles are coming. Experience their transparent world from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. Saturday when the Buffalo Museum of Science salutes the sudsy wonders. Meet Charles “Bubble Man” Incorvaia and discuss the art of the wand. Experiment with Body Bubbles, Tiny Bubbles. Take a Bubble Foam Shower. Special admission price $8 adults, $6 children age 3 and over. Follow the bubbles to 1020 Humboldt Parkway. 4. It could be earth-shattering, when the Kwahadi dancers from Amarillo, Texas, visit. At noon Monday on the grounds of the Roycroft Campus in East Aurora, a colorful pageant of song, dance and stories of the American Indian will take center lawn in front of the Cornell Cooperative Building. Why? The event marks two of Elbert Hubbard’s passions: Native Americans and Boy Scouts. Presented for free by the Roycroft Conference.
