BUCKS COUNTY, PA —There's only so much rain we can take every weekend. Yet here we are again with a soggy forecast planned for Saturday. While the weather looks better for Sunday, there are weekend events that are taking place no matter the rain.

That's the spirit you'll find in Bristol as organizers said they are holding Historic Bristol Day rain or shine. You can't let rain stop this annual event filled with the borough's rich history.

If it's rainy Saturday, go pick out a pet. The Women's Animal Center in Bensalem Township is holding a special Pet Adoption Day where some fees will be waived. There's also a cool Halloween event that won't be so spooky. It's called Boo at the Bolton.
