BEST BET On your mark, get set... Remember childhood? That delicate and impressionable time when hours slipped by as stones were tossed into streams or stars were gazed at from front lawns and campgrounds? Well folks, those days are over. At least in Marin and other parts of the Bay Area where, at times, it seems that state test-scores, extracurricular activities and college applications take priority over enjoying oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth. In fact, many students are overwhelmed and confused as parents become busier and the competition for schools and jobs and awards of all sorts increases. In RACE TO NOWHEREâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a documentary about the loss of childhood in these rapid and often vicious scholastic timesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the filmmakers address these issues and so many more. Learn the impacts and reap the rewards of going slow with the kiddos on Sunday, Oct. 2, 6:30-8:30pm. Bay Marin Community Church, 150 N. San Pedro Rd., San Rafael. $10; www.racetonowhere.com for tickets.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Dani Burlison
