Back on Monday, we previewed four big events coming up in the next four days – tomorrow night’s Taste of West Seattle, Friday’s KEXP Hood-to-Hood celebration, Saturday’s Westwood Village Street Fair, and Sunday’s West Seattle 5K (co-sponsored by WSB)/Seattle Summer Streets (aka Alki “car-free day”). Here are a few other things to anticipate:

THURSDAY – WEST SEATTLE DEMOCRATIC WOMEN “RUBBING ELBOWS”

Joe McDermott, State Rep. Sharon Nelson, 2 Port Commissioners … suggested donation $25 (or more) at the door; RSVP to Carol at 425-392-7390.

THURSDAY – FREE REMODELING WORKSHOP

SATURDAY – DOG SHOW AT WESTWOOD VILLAGE STREET FAIR:
Not only is the street fair back again this year with live music, bouncy toys, magic shows, raffles, and more, the shopping center is also scene of a dog show 11 am-1 pm – full details here. You can sign up in advance at Pet Pros at WV, or at the event, 10 am-11 am.

SUNDAY: PENCIL ME IN FOR KIDS FUNDRAISER – With about a month left in the school year, Pencil Me In For Kids is gearing up its campaign to raise money for school supplies for next year, with its first big fundraiser, featuring Tupperware, Party Lights and Creative Memories, 3-5 pm at West Seattle Eagles (4426 California SW) – more info here, from Illusions Hair Design (WSB sponsor).
