Weekender

Two words readers:

PEOPLES' FAIR.

Yes it is time once again for the annual Capitol Hill Peoples' Fair, happening the 6th and 7th in Civic Center Park in the shadow of our majestic State Capitol building.

Always a fun day of people watching, there are stages for music and demonstrations, and lots of vendors should you decide to do a little spending.. (which helps raise money for local non-profit groups in Cap Hill!)

Get the details here (also, check out those street closures because you might need to detour to avoid the Fair area!)

It is First Friday in the Santa Fe and Tennyson Art districts this evening - and if we don't get a thunderstorm, it looks to be PERFECT weather for strolling from gallery to gallery in either neighborhood.

Entertaining fantasies of popping thru sidewalk pictures with Bert, a la Mary Poppins? Let your imagination run wild and view some amazing Chalk drawings on Larimer Square this weekend (June 6th and 7th).... grab the details here and scrounge a few bucks for an Italian soda to sip while wandering thru the displays...
