Six reasons to do something this weekend
Weekend Picks - April 4, 2013
Shop
Buy and Large
What: Homecoming's massive warehouse sale returns with 50 to 75 percent off brands like Jeffrey Campbell, UNIF, Finders Keepers, Motel Rocks, Mink Pink and more – some for as low as $20.

When: Sunday, noon-5 p.m.
Where: Fresh Cafe, 831 Queen St.
Details: Cash and credit cards accepted.

Where: 3160 Waialae Ave.
