Residents looking for something to do this weekend have options ranging from high school volleyball and dirt-track racing to a charity golf tournament, parks, libraries and community cleanup activities.
The weekend of Aug. 14-16 will also be extremely hot. The forecast for Seagoville calls for highs near 101 degrees Friday and Saturday and 104 degrees Sunday, making water, sunscreen and breaks from the heat particularly important for outdoor activities.
