Giant Yard Sale, Footrace and the Doll Project All Happening This Weekend

On Friday, catch author Christopher Moore, as he discusses his new work "Sacre Bleu: A Comedy D'Art" at Copperfield’s Books.

In this art world thriller, Lucien Lessard, a baker-turned-painter and bon vivant Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, vow to discover the truth behind the untimely death of their friend Vincent van Gogh. The quest leads them on a surreal odyssey and brothel-crawl deep into the art world of late-nineteenth-century Paris. Friday 7pm.

Love yard sales? More than 40 families living at the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center in Two Rock are holding a giant yard sale this weekend complete with RVs, boats, cars, trucks, furniture, household items and more.

Yard sale will be held both Saturday and Sunday 8am-3pm. 599 Tomales Rd.

On Sunday, grab the kids and head to McNear Elementary, which is hosting the Doll Project, a day of artistic expression and celebration. For $15 kids will make a doll using every day items like buttons, string, straw that they can take home. (Recommended for children in kindergarten to 6^th grade). All proceeds go to the Ella Bisbee Art Studio at the Children’s Museum of Sonoma County.
