Who is the King of the County?

Also, a compilation of things to do today and tonight.

Today is MONDAY, June 20, 2011. Hope all you dads out there had a great day yesterday. From all accounts, this weekend's was extremely well-attended and we'll try to have the results from the contest for you later this week. Meanwhile, be advised that we are on a summer schedule meeting wise, and the only city panel to meet this week is the Park, Recreation, Marina and Cultural Commission, which gathers Tuesday. Let's take a look at the situation today:

  1. This evening you and your family can enjoy a magic show by at the . The show is free, but reservations are required. At the end of the performance, there will be a drawing for two free tickets to a Giants game. 
  2. Tonight is the opening night for the Willows Theater production of , a play about a family's life in 1969, the year the Apollo 11 spaceship landed on the moon. 
  3. Are your kids already bored and complaining that there's nothing to do? Perhaps you want to consider the city's series of camps for ages 6 to 11 that feature field trips and activities. The "base camp" is at 750 Allen St., but trips include sojourns to Chuck E. Cheese, the Jungle and the Martinez Marina. 
  4. If you want your kids closer to home but still outside doing stuff, consider the city's offering of weekly for ages 4 to 11 at Nancy Boyd Park on Church Street. Each week features a new theme, and the activities are supervised and outside. 
  5. And of course, if you're so inclined (and you should be), today the  meets. A group will meet at 9 a.m. at Hidden Valley Park and walk various routes around the city. It's free and the walks are tailored to those who show up.
