If you can’t find something to do this weekend, you’re not looking very hard. I found lots to do for Siskiyou Youth.

I’m starting off with the motocross races at the Siskiyou Golden Fair Grounds at 8:00 on Saturday morning. Then, I’ll finish the day with the Sheriff’s Posse Rodeo in Montague at 5:00 pm.

Another choice good choice would be the SharkFest swim meet in Etna. The competition features eight teams, including the Yreka, Scott Valley, and South Siskiyou swim clubs. SharkFest is one of the biggest and best youth sports events in our area, with over 250 competitors. It’s happening both Saturday and Sunday, starting at 9:00 am. I’ll be there on Sunday.

Note:  The Siskiyou Heat ASA U-12 game scheduled for Saturday has been canceled.

The Siskiyou Family YMCA will be holding a basketball camp for boys and girls starting July 6 and ending July 9.

The camp is divided into two groups. Third through six graders will go from 8:00 am – noon. Seventh through ninth graders run from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm. The cost for the camp is $40.00 for YMCA members, and $60.00 for non-members. There is a $10 discount for each additional sibling.

For more information, call the YMCA at 842-9622 or visit the YMCA website.
