Things to do in and around town this weekend

Sacramento in June is never this nice to enjoy it! So what should you be doing this weekend to celebrate the beautiful temperatures? 10 things to do in no particular order:

*Hit the NASCAR All-American Speedway at the Placer County Fairgrounds

*Visit a local farm and pick berries or apricots. My favorite is Impossible Acres but there are other choices like Pacific Star Gardens and Boa Vista Orchards.

*Take your hot dog out to a new dog park for a run in the sun. Then hit our favorite doggy wash The Wagger Day Spa for a bath.

*If you love animals but don't want to hit the dog park, visit the SPCA Doggy Dash in Land Park instead.

*Do you need your faith in education renewed? Take the kids to the Westlake Charter School International Festival. Believe in our education system again.

*Before it is unbearably hot, take a train ride on a steam engine.

*Visit the animals and the nature sanctuary at Effie Yeaw.

*Enjoy dining on a patio downtown. Choose one of the many new restaurants that suits your foodstyle and go for it. Zocalo, Mikuni, Lucca, Tapa the World and many others have great patios.

*If you like big planes, jets, airshows, tricks and worst of all, traffic, visit the Capital Airshow. If not (especially the traffic), stay far, far away from Mather.

*Last but not least, have a toast for my parents who are celebrating their 200th anniversary or something like that.
