Things 2 Do This Weekend!

From a day out on the mountain with your dog to welcoming the Empress of Soul to Reno, this weekend is going to be anything but boring with a little help from Things 2 Do!

Why not take a dip in the near freezing waters of Lake Tahoe? That's exactly what tons of people are doing this Saturday for the 31st annual Polar Bear Swim! If you are brave enough there are still spots available, or you can just head down to watch from the water’s edge and enjoy free appetizers and a raffle with hundreds of prizes after the swim! That's Saturday, warm up starts at 11:30, race is at 2:30 at Gar Woods Grill & Pier in North Lake Tahoe. For more information, you can click here. 

And luckily you don't need to catch a train to Georgia, because I’ve ‘heard it through the grapevine’ that empress of soul Gladys Knight is coming to town! You can catch this seven time Grammy award winning sensation with golden pipes and a license to kill is for one "Knight" only at the GSR Friday starting at 8. But don't thank me, ‘that's what friends are for!’ For more information, you can click here.

If you have a fascination with Egyptian culture, you won’t want to miss your chance to discover the forgotten legend of the ancient king Akhnaton. Written by Agatha Christie, this play set in 1350 BCE tells the story of a pharaoh and his wife Nefertiti as they changed the ancient world. That starts this weekend at the Bruka Theater!

Now that the roads are looking a little better, it's time to take your furry friend up to the mountains! Subaru Winterfest and Super Chewer are launching the Outpost, with treats, demonstrations and excursions geared toward living your best outdoor like with your best friend in tow!
