This weekend
If you can tear yourself away from your garden, there’s a lot happening around the Inland Northwest this weekend.
Don’t miss:
-The big Earth Day celebration on the east end of West Main Avenue in downtown Spokane. Music, food, information, free admission to films at the Magic Lantern, tours of Main Market food co-op, many activities for kids, including a craft project with me … and great weather, it looks like (hope I didn’t just jinx it). The party runs from 11 a.m. until midnight, so wear your dancing shoes.
-Coeur d’Alene is hosting an
Earth Day celebration
, too.
-Hurd Mercantile, the charming store that blends new and vintage merchandise in Rockford, is hosting its spring open house and wine tasting Saturday, starting at 10 a.m. Never been to Hurd? Check out my post about the shop last fall to understand why it’s worth the drive.
-The Get Lit ! festival started yesterday. Too many great programs on that agenda to list (click that link for details), although an evening with Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Russo ( Empire Falls , Straight Man , etc.) and Spokane’s own Jess Walter ( The Zero , The Financial Lives of Poets, Citzen Vince , etc.) Saturday night will definitely be the highlight. Check out Jim Kershner’s article on the authors from Sunday’s paper.
Just clicking on those links makes me realize I really need to join a book club again. I digress …
-Check out the Spokesman’s culinary calendar for upcoming cooking classes, including one at Pilgrim’s Deli in Coeur d’Alene this Saturday that demonstrates some of the many ways to cook asparagus. If you’re trying to eat more seasonally and locally these days, that probably means you’re cooking up your share of asparagus right now.
-More Farm Camps for kids at PEACH. This week’s topic: herbs.
What’d I miss?
