Besides shopping for new shoes and backpacks, why not hit the dance floor at a disco party, learn the history of baseball or check out one of many other fun events in Pittsburgh this weekend? It's also the final weekend for Architects of Air: Daedalum in downtown Pittsburgh.  Here are 11 fun events this weekend:

Saturday, Aug. 19: Pictionary In The Park, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
