The Snack Gods look favorably on Ballard.

Today, Cupcake Royale (2052 NW Market St) will be selling discounted icecream to bicyclists at $2 a scoop starting at 2 p.m. What better way to start off the the Street Bike Party starting at 4 p.m. at Bergen Place Park?

On Sunday, which apparently is Free Popcorn Day, Kukuruza (2211 NW Market St) will be giving away free small bags of popcorn. One per customer, of course. They have a new wild huckleberry flavor that looks as dangerous as it is delicious. They'll also be sampling popcorn today for the influx of bicyclists.

So go forth, get ye discounted and free snacks, and be merry.
