Make it a Maynard Park Weekend!

It seems like something’s always happening in Seattle’s Maynard Park neighborhood. This weekend, there are more events, festivals and “happenings” happening in Maynard Park than in all the combined previous Maynard Park weekends this year. 

Here’s this weekend's rundown:

· Backward-walking 7K Fun Run
· A Brief History of Thyme (7-part lecture panel over 3 days with cooking demonstration)
· Street Magic Flash Mob & Flash Dance (what a feeling of suspended disbelief)
· Making Termites Your Friends (drift-wood art created by domesticated wood eaters)
· Celebrity Miniature Golf Tournament (benefit to buy dry-erasers for the community center)
· Maynard Park hand-decorated shrimp festival (self-explanatory and delicious)
· Collectibles on Parade (treasured uncommon items marched by locals in procession)
· The 5th Annual Maynard Park Vintage Chrysler LeBaron Car Show
· Maynard Park’s Got Talent? (let’s all find out…followed by a no-host Pancake Dinner)

With all this going on, who says Maynard Park isn’t a real neighborhood?
