Your Patch Guide to Happiness

A dance performance at a winery, a historical home tour and a couple of rock shows are among the offerings this week.

It's always nice to feel like you're an insider, with the chance to take in something few others get to see.

Like a look behind the curtain at a fictional family in crisis. Or at the homes of the fortunate few who snagged properties built by a famed home designer.

The play and a historic home tour are there for you March 24-27 in Ramona and beyond. There also are two rock shows this weekend.
