What are you doing today and tomorrow?

Many of us are starting to think about the upcoming holidays.

Whether your nickname is Santa or Scrooge - head to Placer County for a series of events entitled "Art, Verse and Vines".

Fifteen of the region's wineries and cider mills are all open for without appointments from noon - 5PM both Saturday and Sunday.

From the lush Barberas of the Green Family Winery to the robust Tempranillos of Vina Castellano and succulent fruits of Lone Buffalo's zinfandel the moment to try these wines is now.

At the Mount Vernon Winery the stirring metal sculptures of Shelly Ottman will be shown.

For those wanting to support the arts close to 80 county artisans will be displaying their artwork from Roseville to Colfax over the next two days.  The price is $10 per ticket and for more information see www.placerarts.org.

As rich and soul satisfying the wine and arts are - the third component of this weekend is steeped in history and humor.

Cowboy poetry is the highlight of the 15th Annual Cowpoke Festival.  Travel to the Blue Goose Shed in Loomis and listen to some of the best in the biz.  Performers like Michael Martin Murphy, Chanda Eubanks and Larry Mitchell will whittle witty tales of the old West.

C'mon little doggies - it is time to giddyap and enjoy a the best of a gorgeous fall day in Northern California.
