It's the last weekend of 2018.

It's been a year full of great events and that will continue in 2019. It's fun to bring these events to you each week and if you have something you want us to know about, please email us to tell us about your event.

But for now, how about I just tell you what's on this weekend.

JoJo Worthington

2 p.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 29

Descendants Beer and Beverage Co., 319 Victoria St. N., Kitchener

This local musician is always a delight to see live and it's a great way to spend a winter afternoon. Can't make it Saturday? Local musician Juneyt (who was our house musician for the Sounds of the Season kickoff show) will be playing at the brewery on Sunday.

Skating

There are a number of family skates happening this weekend. Outdoor events may be impacted by the warmer weather so check social media before heading out.

Skate Night Date Night is uptown Waterloo Friday evening with a live performance from Quinton Barnes.

Family skate hosted by the Waterloo Ringette Association Saturday evening at Moses Springer Arena.

Community skate hosted by the Waterloo Region Suicide Prevention Council Sunday afternoon at the Cambridge Ice Centre. You'll also get to skate with players from the Cambridge Redhawks (their next home game is Jan. 5, by the way).

Favourite Family Games

10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 29

10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 30

Guelph Civic Museum, 52 Norfolk St., Guelph

The holidays are a great time to break out the board games (my family played a rousing game of crokinole on Boxing Day). Whether you're a Monopoly master or clever at Clue, there are lots of options to try out at the museum. While there, also visit the Brewing Changes Guelph exhibit, which wraps up Feb. 24.

Sounds of the Season

This weekend and Monday is also your last chance to donate to our annual Sounds of the Season campaign, which raises food and funds for The Food Bank of Waterloo Region. If you can, please consider donating a few dollars. It's amazing how far the food bank can stretch even just $1. Thank you to those who have already contributed.
