Next weekend: Precinct picnic; Junction Bonanza; Arts-in-Nature

Now that last weekend is in the rear-view mirror, a quick look ahead to some of the big events up next weekend:

PICNIC AT THE PRECINCT: Saturday 1-4 pm, it’s the annual street party on SW Webster alongside the Southwest Precinct. Meet your local crimefighters, and many of your West Seattle neighbors whose community organizations do the hard work to help make WS an even-more-awesome place. There’s usually treats, entertainment, high-tech and low-tech police equipment (from bomb robots to horses) on display.

‘THE BIG BONANZA’ IN THE JUNCTION: It’s the second year for this end-of-summer blowout sale around The Junction, with more than 40 merchants participating – 10 am till 5 pm on Saturday, deals galore, and some bonus fun (high-noon water showdown, giveaway drawing, and more). Participants are listed here – and there’s coupons too (find those here – you’ll also be able to pick up preprinted coupons at the Bonanza Central HQ in front of KeyBank that day).

ARTS-IN-NATURE FESTIVAL: Both Saturday *and* Sunday, Camp Long bursts with sounds, sights, movement, and myriad other displays of raw creative energy and joy during this annual festival presented by the West Seattle-based Nature Consortium. Highlights include a special benefit concert with Chris Ballew performing songs from his renowned band Presidents of the United States of America (separate from his festival performance as the also-fabled kids-music mastermind Caspar Babypants). The full festival schedule starts here.

    Arts-in-nature! Last year our favorite part (among many) was the “old monk” puppet.

Sorry, comment time is over.
