UNDATED, (KTHV) -- It's Friday and that means THV 11 has a list of 5 things to do this weekend in Arkansas. 

#1. 2013 Arkansas High School Basketball Championships -- Twenty-eight teams will play at Barton Coliseum. Two boys basketball teams and two girls basketball teams from each of the seven divisions will compete for their respective state division championship.

#2. Sun Belt Conference -- This is the last year for the event in Hot Springs at Summit Arena. Hot Springs residents get in for just five dollars on Sunday but you must show an ID. The Red Wolves and UALR are both playing.

3. Keep Little Rock Beautiful Clean Up -- You can help make Little Rock a more beautiful place to live this weekend as Keep Little Rock Beautiful hosts their 4th annual city-wide clean up. Last year nearly one thousand volunteers contributed more than three thousand hours. The event starts Saturday morning at 8 a.m. at Pettaway Park. 

4. Winter Jam Nation 2013 -- There are still tickets left to the Winter Jam National 2013 at Verizon Arena. Sunday at 6 p.m. several artists will take the stage including Toby Mac, Matthew West and American Idol's own Jason Castro.

5. Rhea Lana Children's Consignment Sale -- Another chance for you to save lots of money on your kids clothes and toys as the Rhea Lana sale comes to Conway this weekend. You can shop for gently-used goods at this sale featuring maternity and children's clothing, toys, nursery furniture and more. This sale will feature spring and summer clothing -- and includes Easter outfits and swimsuits. Admission is free at the Conway Expo Center event.
