Native Plants sale a true Northwest affairSaturday, May 10) click for larger view
Northwest cool weather, rain and green plants all worked for the annual Native Plants and Backyard Hatitat fair on the Village Green today. Temperature about 55F, occasional rain and a brisk breeze kept everyone in their practical Northwest cool weather clothes. There is a growing movement towards planting yards with the beautiful ferns and plants native to our Pacific Northwest. And along side that movement is the idea of providing cover and food for birds and urban wildlife. The Fairhaven area is very much a leader in this effort as can be seen in walking the neighborhoods around the historic district. By the way - this coming week we will have sunshine and temperatures into the 70s. The Fairhaven forcaster assures you. Warm sunshine and spirits greet Girls Night OutFriday, May 9)
It was a perfect evening in Fairhaven as the streets echoed laughter and and greetings from women of all ages. The annual charity event to help cancer research at St. Joseph Hospital appeared to be a great success. Pink was the color of the evening. Shops and restaurants were visited and discovered as participants walked the district getting 7 or more stamps on their “passports” and qualifying for the big raffle at evening’s end. The two ‘Girls’ on the left are actually models - two of the many who were modeling clothes from different shops in Fairhaven.
Displays of jewelry and other things were setup in several places through the district.
Headquarters for all the action was the Atrium of Finnegan’s Alley on Harris Avenue. Ooh La La, located in the Atrium, had a big presence at the event with models on the streets wearing their gowns. The evening ended with a drawing for a basket of goodies donated by Fairhaven merchants with a value of over $1,000. If you missed this year’s event, mark your calendar for May 14, 2009 - the second Thursday in May. |
