7 + One

Mid-Week Mayhem. Spice things up by attending the newest installation of Harweldon Murder Mysteries, The Kiss-Kiss, Bang-Bang Theory! Indulge in dinner and drinks, but don't let your wits be clouded -- this hilarious whodunit could pay off big time. Prizes will be given to the sleuths who successfully guess the villain. Held at the Harweldon Mansion, 2210 S. Main St. Tickets cost $45, and proceeds benefit the programs of the Arts and Humanities Council of Tulsa.

Survivor's Story. Expand your awareness by engaging with Elizabeth Smart as part of the Women of Character speaker series. Surviving years of abduction, she speaks about her experiences at 7pm at the Reynolds Center, 800 S. Tucker Dr., on the campus of the University of Tulsa. Tickets cost $25. For $150 you can be a VIP (for a while), which offers an opportunity to meet with Smart.

Better Than the Easter Bunny. Try something new this weekend at Baker Street Pub and Grill's first ever Scotch Egg Eating Contest. All participants will leave with a full stomach, and the champion Scotch Egg eater, besides having the distinction that comes with public gluttony, will also leave with $250. All proceeds support the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America.

When Cowboys Fly. Get out of town and let your fancy take flight at the annual Will Rogers and Wiley Post Fly-In. See vintage aircraft and investigate what life must have been like for WWII bomber pilots caught in the crossfire. Not one for cowboys or war stories? Come talk with daredevils of a different sort. Professional pilots of bi-planes, ultra lights, and helicopters will be featured as well. The good times come free and will be held Sunday, Aug.12, 8:30am-1pm at Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch, 9501 E. 380 Rd., Oologah.

West Side Story. Go to the library for something other than a good book. This Monday at 6:30pm the Zarrow Regional Library located at 2224 W. 51st St. hosts the West Side Stitchers, as they teach all ages how to weave webs of intrigue. Using yarn rather than words, this unique library experience is free and open to both teens and adults.

Views and Microbrews. In the great tradition of the Chestertons and Lewises of the world, slug back a pint or two while discussing deep theological subjects at Theology On Tap. Held at McNellie's Public House, 409 E. 1st St., the evening will begin with a social hour at 7pm, then Father John Grant will speak and lead a discussion at 8pm.

They Don't Dance They'll Make You Sing. They may not perform dressage like the Olympics' current equestrian sensations, but why would they want to? The horses shown at the annual NSBA Show Your Colors event, which runs Aug. 13-16, are worth more than a passing glance. Held at the Built Ford Tough Livestock Complex at Expo Square, 4145 E. 21st St.

If You Can Dream It, We Can Use It. Gain admission into the fascinating world of architect Teddy Cruz by stopping by the Philbrook Museum, 2727 S. Rockford Rd., August 16 from 6-8pm as he presents Where Is Our Collective Imagination?, an exhibit which fuses both Latin and American cultures. His work is said to transport the viewer to his home along the Tijuana-San Diego border, enrapturing listeners with the history and struggles of the area as he has encased them in edifice and supported them by imagination. You're on your own for the return trip.
