Last weekend, The Press Democrat ran a story titled “Cheap Thrills,” about entertainment that costs less than 10 bucks and sometimes nothing at all.

The story prompted readers to send in some suggestions we missed, so we’re passing those along:

Jenny Randall says:

“I thought I would put in my two-penny’s worth for ‘cheap thrills.’ $8 a carload in Jack London State Historic gives you entrance to two museums and a whole lot of history and fun. Annnadel costs $6 for a carload. Remember our parks!”

And Jon Foreman writes:

“Two local Sonoma businesses are sponsoring free bi-weekly community theater in the Gazebo at Sonoma Marketplace shopping center at Third Street West and West Napa Streets.

“The Wireless Group’s Rick Pappas and Jon Foreman of TechPro Communications are sponsoring the showing of children’s movies in 5.1 Dolby surround sound every other Friday night at 7 p.m. There are giveaways for the audience after the show with gifts supplied by other Marketplace businesses.

“Some of the movies shown so far are ‘Kung Fu Panda’ and ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’; other G-rated movies are planned. The next date for the movies is Aug. 28. There is no charge for these movies, so come down, have an ice cream, and enjoy the show.”

And Jenifer Hastings Cote adds:

“Saw your post. One of my favorite things to do this time of year is FREE black-berry picking. There are some great spots all over the county on public property, near the creeks especially. We love to pick them with the kids and make jams and pies … yum. What a wonderful treat nature provides this time of year, and they are free!

“We also love heading to Sebastopol for apple picking,  less free, but still fun.”

But friends and neighbors, let’s not stop here. Send us more. What are your favorite fun things to do and places to go under $10?
