Avoiding the fair? Three things to do this weekend-

If you're not really into the State Fair, or you just want to wait for the crowds to die down a little- try these three fun events and activities around town this weekend:

*The Great Sacramento Duck Race- Events and activities begin in the Old Sac waterfront area at 10am. Stick around until 3pm to see the official Great Duck Race as many as 20,000 rubber duckies will make a journey down the river to win prizes. All in good fun, the event is a major fundraiser for Special Olympics of Northern California

*The Yolo County Fair- If you're looking for a more mellow, true fair and farm experience, check out the Yolo County Fair! If you hurry, you can still get tickets for the old-fashioned destruction derby on Sunday.

*The WOOF Movie night in Elk Grove- Get the whole family out to see Fox and the Hound after dark.

And a bonus extra for those without kids or who already have a sitter- tickets are still available to see Lewis Black at the Community Center on Sunday.
