This weekend’s weather is expected to be a 50/50 split between wet and dry. Rain or shine, there’s lots to do both inside and out in Fremont this weekend.
- Take your little ghouls and goblins to Pumpkin Prowl at Woodland Park Zoo. There will treats and live entertainment throughout the weekend, or visit the creepy critters in Bug World. Festivities go from 5:00-8:00pm Friday through Sunday. Tickets are $9 for adults and $7 for children 17 and under (kids 2 and under are free). Get $2 off if you buy tickets from Bartell’s. This is an after-hour fundraiser so zoo memberships don’t apply.
- Fremont Outdoor Cinema is showing a screening of “Dark Side of Oz”, which pairs the music from Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” with the visuals from the film “The Wizard of Oz”. Movie starts at 8pm on Friday. Don’t worry about getting wet; this one’s playing inside Fremont Studios (155 N. 35th St). Cost is free. You can also buy tickets to next weekend’s BOO Costume Extravaganza for $20 at the screening (regularly $30).
- Take Back The Bridge is leading a 2-day event to raise awareness for suicide prevention and money for the Crisis Clinic of King County. It begins with a 24-hour prayer vigil on the bridge beginning at 5:00pm on Friday. A pancake breakfast is on Saturday at 8:00am, followed by a group walk over the bridge at 10:30am.
- Learn what it takes to designate a historical landmark and all the ins and outs of the system.
