There is always lots to do in Bakersfield and this weekend is no exception.
Experience the fun of the old west at the Whiskey Flats Days events at the Kern County Fairgrounds. If you are looking for a different kind of cultural experience in our community, try the nXcaffe CoffeeClub & ArtHouse's exhibit of Christine McBride's "Deliverance" or attend the book discussion focused on the African American experience in the military "Fighting on Two Fronts" at the Bakersfield Senior Center.
