Spectrum 2011 is this Weekend, June 3-5! Also, Roller Derby!

I guess I know what I'll be doing this weekend.  I am so happy that Spectrum returned to the downtown after many disappointingly crappy years in Kin Coulee Park. Whoever thought that it would be better in a park than in the downtown should have had their heads examined!


I've swiped the schedule from their website if you don't feel like clicking through.  We can only hope that the current forecast is correct and that it will be warm and sunny for all the festivities.  My youngest loves Andrew from the Library, so we might try to go to one of his sing-alongs, and my oldest really enjoyed HOJA when they were at her school, so we will try to see them as well.
