Looking for something fun to do on Valentine's Day? NOW readers sent us their suggestions on how to celebrate the romantic holiday. Alli Dawn is volunteering at the Variety Show of Hearts Telethon, on this Saturday and Sunday on Global TV. The annual telethon raises money to help families of children with disabilities. Angelica Dattilo suggests making homemade rustic pasta and pizza for two with wine. Throw in a good movie and some cuddles, and you're set. Shauna Pratt says if it's sunny, head to the top of Burnaby Mountain with a sushi picnic and watch the sunset. (Saturday's forecast calls for rain, but it should be sunny by Sunday.)

The event is on Saturday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m. at Club 560, at 560 Seymour St. The show takes people's favourite fictional characters and makes them kiss, and attendees are encouraged to dress up as their favourite couples.
