Monday, Monday…

When we had that garage sale a couple of weeks ago (the one that started at 9am with 70 people showing up before 8:45 - cool for sales, for sure), we called our friends at Consignment Treasures to pick up some of our stuff afterwards - that's Copper & Robert loading it up! The money they make goes to Dollars for Scholars and other local charities....

Little bit of fog never hurt anyone, and it always clears eventually – let’s take a look through the mists:

• A little of everything this weekend, eh? Lots of rain, with nice sunshine just when we needed it, along with morning thunder Sunday morning.

Coffee by Credence at the Faire....

• The Village Faire was pretty awesome, in spite of the rain & a bunch of competing events (proving that just because there are a bunch of different events, you can still try to go to all of ’em!) – it was great that it went for three days & three nights, with lots of music & food & good times all ’round. Looking forward to next year!

• Let’s see if we can get all the restaurants squared away as we head to the slower season:

Maya Corrie (with Jim) had a great time at the 100th Anniversary Celebration at Jensen's Shipyards....

The Backdoor Kitchen starts Noodle Bowl Monday up again on October 4th (get your calendar out!)

Cafe Demeter is closed his week….

The Peppermill finishes its run this coming weekend; the space will host the Homesteaders Restaurant, opening sometime in mid-October.

Duck Soup Inn‘s Friday Happy Hour is going now till the end of October.

• Nancy at Griffin Bay Bookstore reports:

Griffin Bay Book Club will meet on Friday night, September 24, 7:00 pm to discuss: Border Songs by Northwest author, Jim Lynch. All are welcome.

• Hanna Burke is on tonight at the Community Theatre at 6pm…here’s more. I got to hear her sing last year around this time in the same setting – you’re gonna love it. See ya there.

That's Hanna with her proud mama Cynthia serving up good food at the Cynthia's, Of Course booth at the County Fair last month...drop by to hear Hanna sing tonight!

• If you haven’t heard No Particular Order lately, drop in on Saturday at the Rumor Mill…they get it going at 7:30pm.

• In sports this past weekend, the football guys had a tough one, losing to probable state champs Meridian 64-7. We host Nooksack Valley here on Friday.

Meanwhile, the girls soccer team shot early & often, but were unable to notch a goal in a 0-0 draw on Saturday with Evergreen Lutheran. We travel to Mount Vernon Christian on Tuesday…

Liz Taylor shoots late in the second half for the Wolverines in FHHS' 0-0 draw with Evergreen Lutheran.

• Here’s a song to get your Monday going…you probably were already humming it your head, anyway:
