Sale Saturday at Huckleberry’s — but no raccoons

So, before going to see the documentary "Project Nim" at the Magic Lantern tonight, we stopped into the Margot Casstevens art exhibit in the Saranac Building. Titled "Seed Folk," the show featured one mixed-media piece that looked like a large spash of grass in the middle of the floor. I immediately thought of my front lawn, which isn't nearly as green -- and seems to attract every cat and raccoon in the neighborhood.

Didn't see any cats or raccoons at the art show.

Anyway, after the show, and after powering down some Froyo Frozen Yogurt, we stopped by Huckleberry's to scout the store's wine/beer/cheese on Saturday. Everything is marked down by 20 percent.

Even the raccoons. I think.
