Art Walk

It's the first Wednesday of the month, and thus, Wallingford Art Walk. The number of participating businesses seems diminished from previous months, but perhaps Art Walk is resting and gathering its strength for May, which we're told will be a sort of "grand re-opening" of the event. Here's what we're told is happening: Irwin's: Aaron Winnenberg Stu Stu Studio: Robin DeAlva (Encaustic painting) Oasis Art Gallery: Connectivity Seattle Mosaic Arts: Group exhibit and--in honor of Spring, Earth Day, and Arbor Day--will…

The Food Network Challenge has selected another neighborhood eatery for its show, Tangletown's Mighty-O Donuts.  The episode airs Sunday, April 10th at 8 PM. An enthusiastic donut-eater myself, I caught up with Mighty-O's competitor, "donut creator extraordinaire" Sara Beth Russert.

Ladies, Duck!

Eliza gave us the heads up that Adult Co-Ed Dodgeball is starting up for the season at the Wallingford Boys and Girls Club. Unfortunately, as is often the case, all the boy spots are taken, but there are girls spots still available (unless you can put a full team together). Games are either Wednesday or Sundays, more details on the Underdog Dodgeball web site. Don't worry, they assure us it's played with no-sting Rhino Skin coated foam dodgeballs. Ah, Dodgeball, where…
