BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Wet, windy weather got you down?  Fear not.  There’s a bunch of fun stuff to do this weekend in Bellingham to brighten your spirits.

It’s time for the 44th annual Holiday Bazaar at Bellingham Covenant Church (1530 E. Bakerview Rd.)  The event is on Saturday, Nov. 14 and will feature over 50 vendors offering handmade items, crafts, jewelry, artwork, clothing and more.

There will also be a bake sale to raise money for local charities.  The Holiday Bazaar runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Entry and parking are free.

The Mount Baker Theatre has a couple of great shows on the docket this weekend.

On Saturday night, Revisiting Creedence will perform.  Featuring former members of Creedence Clearwater Revisited, the band will play all your favorite CCR hits and “breathe new life into the songs on stage.”

Revisiting Creedence takes the stage at 7:30 p.m.

With ski and snowboarding season just around the corner, it’s time to head to the Mount Baker Theatre for a Warren Miller film.  The iconic filmmaker’s 77th film, Warren Miller’s Day Off takes a look at what winter sports professionals do on their days off.  Spoiler alert: They ski and snowboard.

The film is showing at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 15.
