Around & about….

Steve & Kit take in Music on the Lawn on Wednesday....

Let’s see what’s going on….

• The Attic Treasures sale is this weekend – here’s more from Jan:

Treasures at the PARC July 24

From the Chippendale dining table and chairs that starred in last winter’s play, The Dining Room, to jewelry, golf clubs, a leather bench/ottoman and more, the Community Arts Theatre Society’s (CATS) Attic Treasures is brimming with quality used items.

Welcome, Milo! Missy Martin brought Milo out (he was born on the 9th) to hear the tunes on Wednesday. He looked healthy & happy & asleep when I saw him...

The annual “garage” sale featuring donations from individuals throughout the community, is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 24 at the PARC Building (70 Saltspring Drive).  All proceeds benefit the San Juan Community Theatre. Other items collected at press time included area rugs, Christmas tree ornaments, dishes and purses.

“There are so many wonderful things that have been donated,” said CATS member Jane Stoddard.  “I think this is one of the best collections we’ve ever had.”

San Juan Community Theatre’s PARC Building is located in the Beaverton Business Park off Beaverton Valley Road, about 9/10 of a mile from the town limits.

• Hey, you have to renew your business license by the end of next week – here’s more from Keri:

Renewals are due by the end of next week (July 31st) or there is a 50% penalty- increasing the license fee from $42.00 a year to $63 for the year.  All businesses that are no longer ‘IN Business” need to notify us in WRITING- because we can’t read minds and the state auditors require written notification.

The crowd went on to hit around 550...wow!

• Now THAT rocked – the Music on the Lawn concert by Island Rec on Wednesday had 2 1/2 hours of blues and an overflow crowd that was the biggest ever – Tim Thomsen was in charge of the clicker, and he showed me when the crowd hit 500 (right).

Sally Thomsen has continued to put on a quality series each summer, and this was emblematic of the best. See you next week!

• Kate Schuman has a gig today from 3-6pm at Island Studios – drop in & say hey! Here’s the scoop from KS:

I am playing all by myself, unplugged, at Island Studios downtown.  If you’ve yet to visit this store, this is a great time to do it.  It is packed with artwork, books, music, jewelry, clothing and much more, all locally made.  Come see what your neighbors have really been up to!  And come say hello to me, I’d love it!
