While the weather today is nice, it’s supposed to get freakin’ hot and miserable tomorrow. I know, some of you people like that sort of thing – but I moved to Oregon to get away from the heat and I don’t like it when it comes to early. At least we don’t have much humidity here!

But – I’d imagine the folks with the Alberta Arts Hop ^[1] are happy about the forecast. Saturday is the annual parade and street festival – this year featuring three local artists – as well as a slew of other artists, craftspeople, food vendors, musicians and local businesses.

The main drag of Alberta will be closed to traffic all day as the festival-goers take over the street – and a mini-parade will wander down the street around 2:30. Even though they were booted from their home on Alberta last year – not everyone wanted to see them leave, and I hope the clowns will show up!

I’ll see you there…in the shade.
