1. Al Roker

Spend some time with the weatherman and author and learn about his "aha! moment" -- when he promised his dying father that he would change his way of living. Roker will speak and sign copies of his memoir, "Never Goin' Back: Winning the Weight-loss Battle for Good" at Book Revue in Huntington.

10. Opera in Cinema
