We caught those Ford Falcons bright and early during setup for the West Seattle Junction Car Show, today’s biggest event, but not the only event! From the WSB West Seattle Events calendar:
WEST SEATTLE JUNCTION CAR SHOW: 8 am-4 pm, California SW is closed between SW Edmunds and SW Oregon for the annual car show. More info here. WSB is live on site, so check here for updates throughout the day. Show’s free, but bring some $ for the raffle, the T-shirt, and more. (Reminder, in case you missed the announcement a few days ago, the “Deadliest Catch” cast members canceled.)
BIG DAY AT THE FARMERS’ MARKET: While you’re in The Junction: The West Seattle Farmers’ Market (10 am-2 pm, 44th/Alaska) celebrates squash today, as follows:
1. THE CONTEST: Bring your biggest, weirdest-looking squash from your own garden to the market info booth and enter to win a beautiful farmers market basket full of market goodies. Entries accepted and displayed until judging starts at 1:00 pm (The market opens at 10:– am so please do not bring entries before then). Squash will be judged by the experts: Our market farmers!
2. THE ZUCCHINI 500: Kids of all ages can make, then race, their very own vegetable vehicle. Car bodies and parts supplied by the farmers market. Races held continuously from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.
