Dine Out, cover a chair and more upcoming fun

I’m writing this post from Maggie’s South Hill Grill , one of the Spokane restaurants participating in the annual Dine Out to Feed Spokane campaign.

The concept is simple: eat at a particular restaurant on a particular day in March (or some restaurants any day) and some of the proceeds will go toward Feed Spokane, a nonprofit organization that rescues prepared restaurant food and delivers it to 30 meal sites, which serve free meals a day to people in need.

March is almost over, so check out the calendar at the link above and plan to dine out this weekend.

What else is happening in the next couple of weeks?

*For $10 you can learn how to make a slipcover for a dining room chair from slipcovering pro Cherie Killilea . Her April 7 class will be the first workshop offered at Buttercuppity , the new fabric store in Steam Plant Square. Um, $10 is dirt cheap for a sewing class, folks, and you’ll be giving new life to what’s probably a shabby old chair. You must pre-register in Cherie’s Etsy shop.

* The Funky Junk Antique Show will be held April 10 and 11 at the Irish Dance Hall Grange, seven miles north of Spokane off Highway 2. I think this is a new one, eh? I’m trying to track down more information, but the posters are cute and Serena from the Farm Chicks is one of their blog followers—a couple of clues that this could be a good one.

My fish tacos and sweet-potato fries just arrived. Must go.
