We’re well into March and, so far, I am loving this month. It may still be chilly outside, but the first hints of spring are just around the corner. Plus, there is just over one week until my favorite holiday—St. Patrick’s Day. This day has it all—fun, food, decorations and festivities, with none of the work. If you’re like me, you’re counting down the days. Luckily, there are plenty of fun things happening this weekend to keep us occupied. Here are a few ideas of what to do in and around Bellingham March 9—11. And don’t forget to check out our full events calendar for all the fun happenings in Whatcom County.
