    […] Arts West Diaper Drive | ArtsWest has teamed up with the Husky Deli and WestSide Baby to sponser a diaper drive during the run of Pinocchio. Bring your new disposable diapers in any size to the Arts West Theater (4711 California Avenue SW), and you’ll receive a coupon for a child’s scoop of ice cream at the Husky Deli. Then stay for the Commedia Dell’arte style staging of the classic tale of a wooden boy who wants to be real ($19.00 for those 25 and over, $10.00 for the young’uns). Thanks to the West Seattle Blog for the tip, and be sure to check out their extensive list of activities for more weekend fun.   […]
