What’s ahead for your clearer-weather Thursday:

POOL UPDATE: While Colman Pool (8011 Fauntleroy Way SW) is reopening post-smoke, the Seattle Parks hotline says it’s too cloudy/cool for wading pools, so those will NOT reopen today after all. Sprayparks are open, though, including Highland Park (1100 SW Cloverdale), 11 am-8 pm.

PARACHUTE STORY TIME: 11:30 am behind Neighborhood House High Point:

Please join us for outdoor story time in Commons Park with Seattle Public Library’s Children’s Librarian, Nathalie Gelms. Nathalie will read, sing, and lead activities with a parachute. This program is designed for children and families. Plan to stay after story time for our “Kids and Teens Eat Free” meal program from 12 pm – 1 pm inside the building.

ARTS AND CRAFTS STUDIO: 1-3 pm, kids 2-10 are invited, with parents/guardians/caregivers, to drop in at Delridge Library and work on arts/crafts projects. (5423 Delridge Way SW)

SDOT AVALON/35TH PROJECT OPEN HOUSE: 5:30-7:30 pm, drop in at American Legion Post 160 for a look at what SDOT is proposing in the SW Avalon Way (and three blocks of 35th SW, and one block of SW Alaska) rechannelization/repaving project now that it’s at the 60 percent design milestone. Here’s our preview. (3618 SW Alaska)

JEWELRY SHOPPING: Menashe and Sons Jewelers (WSB sponsor) presents its second annual Ladies’ Night tonight. Visit the store between 6 and 9 pm. (4532 California SW)

CASPAR BABYPANTS @ HIAWATHA: The last of this year’s 6 free Summer Concerts at Hiawatha is likely to be the biggest, as family-rock fave Caspar Babypants performs. 6:30 pm on the east lawn at Hiawatha Community Center. Rain or shine – if the former happens, the concert moves into the gym. Bring your own chair/blanket. (Walnut/Lander)

FLY-TYING WITH BRITA FORDICE: 7 pm at Emerald Water Anglers (WSB sponsor), a fly-tying workshop with the local legend! Check to see if tickets remain. (4502 42nd SW)
