Fairgoers will have a chance to meet with staff and volunteers from the City of Edmonds and local non-profit conservation organizations, feed juvenile salmon in the hatchery’s rearing pond, and take a tour of the newly re-planted Wildlife Habitat Native Plant Demonstration Garden. Pilchuck Audubon Society will be on site to help visitors plan their own wildlife and pollinator friendly gardens and backyard habitats. Other exhibitors will include Students Saving Salmon, the Edmonds Stewards, and Sound Salmon Solutions. Rescue animals from the Just Frogs Foundation are also expected to make a special appearance.

Over the River and Through the Woods By Joe DiPietro
The Edmonds Driftwood Players presents Over the River and Through the Woods by Joe DePietro, directed by Christopher Kidder-Mostrom.
Nick is a single, Italian-American guy from New Jersey. His parents retired and moved to Florida but that doesn’t mean his family isn’t still in Jersey. In fact, he sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. This is routine until he tells them that he’s been offered his dream job of marketing executive in Seattle, which would take him away from all his beloved, but annoying, grandparents. The news doesn’t sit so well. Thus begins a series of schemes by Frank, Aida, Nunzio and Emma to keep Nick around, including inviting the lovely, and single, Caitlin O’Hare to dinner…we won’t give the ending away here.
