Something serious - the pug that will predict rain

<< Back to archives | Tuesday, January 23, 2007

This little pug is getting her photo taken for possible use in a Seattle Times article.  She is the one who each February, during the Rain Festival, tests the weather to see how many more weeks of rain we will enjoy during the winter.  Our fun and goofy celebration is being written up for the Times by local writer Mike McQuaide who is here getting a photo of the mug of the pug.  The Festival is a little over a week from now on Saturday, February 3.  It starts at 11 am and is over a bit after 12 - one of the shortest fests anywhere.  But we invite you to come participate.  Write a rain poem, recite it and possibly win a prize.  Wear your best rain gear and join the fashion show - and possibly win a prize.  And, of course, you will be able to meet Mattie the pug and learn how much more rain we will get.
