  1. There are so many things to do in Oceanside it can be hard to choose. Check out our Patch pick of the best things to do this weekend. Beer Town Opens, Artist Awakening, Movies at the Pier, Oceanside Unfiltered Exhibit and much more are happening this weekend in (or near) Oceanside. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
  2. A swarm of 2 billion genetically modified mosquitoes could soon buzz across California to help combat an invasive mosquito species known to spread diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved a pilot project in California and Florida to use non-biting, genetically edited male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to help combat disease-transmitting mosquitoes of the same species. (San Diego Patch)
  3. Beer Town is a new beer and food joint opening in Downtown Oceanside Saturday. Beer Town will offer a full taproom and bottle shop specializing in under-represented beers from outside the San Diego area. According to its website, the mission at Beer Town is to bring beer to the Oceanside and San Diego County area that otherwise may not find its way here and to create a comfortable space where people can enjoy a weekend brunch with the family or grab a unique craft beer with dinner after a long workday. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
  4. Marines, families, and athletes alike gathered in the amphitheater at the Wounded Warrior Battalion West's main campus to celebrate the 2022 Marine Corps Trials' competitors on March 9. A total of 53 athletes representing U.S. Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Battalion West participated in the week-long competition. The competitors, comprised of both active-duty and veteran athletes, competed in 12 adaptive sports. With countless competitions in each sport, the athletes were tested on both their physical abilities and mental fortitude. (DVIDS)
  5. Alistair Brownlee is ready to make his long-awaited return to race action at IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside next month. The two-time Olympic champion went through what he termed as "three months of hell" trying to make it to Tokyo for a 'threepeat' bid last summer despite an ankle injury. But after his bid ended at WTCS Leeds in June, he underwent surgery on the ankle and has been steadily building up to race fitness. (TRI247)
