Tonight, Friday, Sept. 4 at 6:30 p.m. ("until late"), Sustainable Ballard will hold a picnic and bonfire to celebrate the summer and the work of neighborhood volunteers.

Organizers said to look for the "bright yellow flags" at Golden Gardens Beach.

From Sustainable Ballard:

"Please bring a dish to share for dinner, your plate, utensils and drinks (I think no alcohol allowed on beach?) and whatever/whoever else makes you happy --- s'mores ingredients will be provided!

Any questions? Email orna@sustainableballard.org.

Looking forward to celebrating with you!

If you're able to spend an hour or two guarding our fire pit between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m., and if you know where we could get permissible wood to burn, please email me at the above address. Thanks!"
