Rain Festival update: Saturday morn

<< Back to archives | Thursday, January 25, 2007

Chance of rain during the festival today is:  60%, but only for this afternoon - after the fest.  The temperature should be in the 40s by 11 am, the start of the festival.  Rain brings warmer temperatures than this frigid sunny cold weather.  Looks perfect for the fest.

Festival is today, Saturday, Feb 3, from 11 am sharp to the noon prediction - on the Village Green.

We still need - and hope for - a live musical instrument or two.  A drummer for rolls and/or a horn for announcements.  If you have one, we would be delighted if you brought it and helped make the festival more musical. 

There is a flattering and fun article in today’s Seattle Times about our Rain Fest.  With such publicity, I hope we have some good rain poems entered.  There is a link to this website in the article - so if any Seattle folks are reading this, please feel invited to show up with a rain poem of your own.  This fest is a participatory event - all of us make it happen.

We invite you to attend and:
Write a rain poem and read it. 
Wear your most fashionable rain gear.
Prizes from Fairhaven merchants will be awarded for the best of both.
