Tossing? Turning? Maybe it’s time to upgrade that lumpy old mattress. The Mt. Lebanon Blue Devil Marching Band will host a Mattress Fundraiser Sale from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, April 26, at Mt. Lebanon United Lutheran Church on Washington Road (at the Cochran Road intersection). You’ll find all sizes and brand names—from Restonic to Simmons—at prices that will save you 30 to 60 percent off retail. Mattresses come with factory warranties and delivery and layaway options are available. Cash, checks and credit cards will be accepted. All proceeds benefit the band.
music in bloom
Phipps Conservatory’s Spring Flower Show, which runs through Sunday, April 20, takes you on a toe-tapping journey through a musical world where melodies bloom like flowers. From one room to the next, musical genres from swing and big band to blues and rock ‘n roll are showcased through whimsical sculptures made out of up-cycled instruments, an upright piano planter and carefully orchestrated plantings featuring thousands of vibrant tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, Himalayan blue poppies and more. Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and until 10 p.m. on Fridays. $15, adults; $14, seniors and students; $11, children ages 2 through 18. phipps.conservatory.org
