Sunday is Mother's Day, and while we don't really know WHY she loves you, we do know you should treat her to a day like no other. Some of St Louis' finest organizations have put together special Mother's Day events. Pick one, or more, but make your plans soon, she deserves it!

The mother of all events is the 2009 Art Fair at Laumeier. The nationally acclaimed fine art and craft fair is held annually on Mother's Day Weekend. Open all weekend, Mother's Day hours from 10am – 5pm.

Another favorite tradition at the Sheldon features one of Saint Louis' finest, Denise Thimes and Friends for the 13th Annual Mother's Day Concert. Sunday at 5:30 PM.

Craft Alliance's Mother's Day Trunk show ends May 10th and features local artists specializing in glass jewelry and botanical inspired hand painted silk scarves. Both fantastic gift ideas, buy local, support the arts, keep Mom in style.

Mom shouldn't do the cooking, so the Art Museum offers a Mother's Day brunch at Puck's from 10am – 2pm, and the weekly Family Sunday program (1-4pm in the Sculpture Hall) has been plussed up for Mom's Day with Zoo friends bringing real African animals up the hill to inspire the African Arts theme.

Lunch at Merriwether's is always a treat, and the Missouri Historical Society has added "Mother's Day with the Landolfi Quartet," on Sunday at 2pm to make it easy to take Mom to lunch and a show.

Make it an evening at The 10th Anniversary of the St. Louis Dance Festival Showcase which wraps up at the Edison on Sunday at 8pm.

For an after dinner treat, do what Mom would do - support promising young musicians with financial need. The Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center (LNAC) hosts "Orchestrating Diversity" on Sunday evening at 6pm. An evening of music, chocolate and champagne includes a string quartet formed of musicians from the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, a combo from Jazz Saint Louis and Eric Hall. Fine chocolate deserts, champagne and coffee included.
