What's Happening This Weekend (February 6-8)

Rain is in the forecast but that doesn't have to stop all of the fun. There's so much to do this weekend both in and outdoors. Some events are subject to change due to inclement weather so be sure to check with the event organizers. And when the rain stops you won't want to miss the Top 10 Marin County Waterfall Hikes.

One of the top family-friendly events this weekend is the Fundraiser for Trips for Kids on Sunday, February 8th from 3-6pm at the Marin Museum of Bicycling, 1966 Sir Francis Drake Blvd. Fairfax. Meet mountain bike legends Gary Fisher, Joe Breeze, Ned Overend, Tom Ritchey, Scot Nicol, Juli Furtado, Otis Guy, Charlie Kelly, Ross Shafer, Steve Potts, Chris Chance, Mert Lawwill, Rick Sutton, Mark Slate, Maurice Tierney and Dave Garoutte. Hope to see you there to support Trips for Kids!
