You’re never done weeding…

…but it always feels good.

Another Green Seattle Partnership volunteer event in Ravenna Park is happening this Saturday from 10 am until 2 pm.

More information and contact emails and whatnot at the Green Seattle Partnership website.

Stimulate your local economy.

Support your local small business owners!  It’s good for them, good for the community, and it gets you away from those Dow Jones tickers that seem to be popping up on every local news broadcast.

Don’t know where those small business and their owners happen to be?  Then you should attend this year’s Shop Local Seattle, held at the Ravenna-Eckstein Community Center this Saturday from noon until 3 pm.  Heck, you should attend even if you do.

There’s even a raffle!  We loves a good raffle.  One free ticket at the door, $1 for additional tickets.  Proceeds go to the Literacy for a Lifetime, a program dedicted to giving books to sick kids at Seattle Children’s.

The list of vendors at this year’s event is here, and it’s impressively long, I would say.

An article by NWsource shopping columnist Alison Brownrigg about this year’s event is here.

Thanks to Chris D. for poking me in the inbox.
