Rollin’ Weed Show n’ Shine Saturday, Aug 28th

Stunt rider Pete Brandt will be a highlight at Rollin' Weed

Check out Weed this weekend for the Rollin’ Weed Show and Shine, which promises more cars, motorcycles, and trucks than ever before. While shiny vehicles will certainly get attention, another highlight will be the three shows by world champion BMX flatland freestyle stunt rider Pete Brandt. He’ll perform at 9:30, 11:30 and 1:30 as the street fair and other activities take place. If you find yourself in or around Weed the morning of the event and happen to have a car, truck or bike you want to show off, last minute registration will be open from 7-9am at Centennial Plaza (enter from Alamo Avenue from Highway 97).

Once things get underway you can stroll Main Street downtown to check out the Show n’ Shine, street fair and local businesses. Some businesses are offering Rollin’ Weed specials, like the 2 free games deal at Cedar Lanes bowling alley. To beat the heat, kids can play in the water slide at the Tri Counties Bank parking lot (make sure they have a bathing suit). Kids can also find activities at the Weed Mercantile, which will also be hosting a quilt show and fruit and veggies exchange on the front porch. Rollin’ Weed will have a food court at the U.S. Bank parking lot as well as a barbecue, starting at 11am in Centennial Plaza, to raise money for the Weed Main Street Pride downtown revitalization organization.

There will be live music throughout the day, featuring local bands, like the Hop Creek Boys who got their start playing at Brew Grass night at the Weed Brewery. While the Brewery isn’t located downtown, you’ll definitely want to go get a beer from the little brewery that fought the feds and won. The Show n’ Shine awards are at 3pm and are based on audience votes. So stick around until the awards are over, then head to College Avenue to check out the Brewery.

While you’re in Weed, take the time to check out the nooks and crannies, where things get tucked away. You can check out the Weed Chamber’s activities page to get an idea of the what you can see and do while you’re visiting this little town.
