What’s better than some piping hot s’mores or a tasty, full-bodied stout beer on a cold winter’s day? Well, at Drake’s in West Sac you can have both at their S’mores & Stouts event this Sunday.

A bit-time winter storm in the Sierra is expected to bring with it major snowfall. And that’s good news for guests at the Urban WinterFest at Heavenly Village. Not quite as far up Highway 50, but perhaps with a little snow still on the ground, the 16th Annual Art & Wine with Something MORE is going down at the El Dorado County Fair & Event Center in Placerville.

The NFC Championship game is this Sunday in Santa Clara where the San Francisco 49ers will look to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LIV. The 49ers are facing the Packers for the second time this year. SF thrashed Green Bay in their Week 11 matchup 37-8. That game was also played in Santa Clara.

Those are just some of the fun things going on around the area this weekend. Scroll down to see more!
