It’s finally feeling like fall, perfect for the cornucopia of events in today’s Weekender. Refocus Film Fest begins tonight with a showing of Train Dreams at The Englert. Check our handy guide on the festivals offerings. It’s not just movies getting the love, as the Iowa City Book Festival and the Des Moines Banned Books Festival is set for the weekend. For your dose of comedy check out the finals of the Funniest Person in Iowa. The competition will crown a winner at the Ideal Theatre in Cedar Rapids. To cap off the weekend our very own 13th Annual Roast of Iowa City goes down this Sunday at ReUnion Brewery.
