If you’re anything like me, you wait until the last possible second to make weekend plans. Lucky for both of us, the Washington County Visitors Association has got you covered.

Here are some fun events going on this weekend in our neck of the woods…

Salsa Contest (no silly, not the dance! the food!) at the Hillsboro Farmers’ Market. Here’s what you need to know: Bring your homemade salsa to the market on Saturday, August 23, and
Sunday, August 24, no later than 9:30.  We recommend that if you are
making it fresh, use products that you have purchased from the market. 
This is not required, but it is a good way to support the market. 
Please bring approximately 1 quart of salsa for us to use.

BTS@BPV - Ah! The kids these days and their lingo. For the over 30 crowd, that’s Back to School at Bridgeport Village. Here’s the Scoop:
Go to participating stores, find a Key Word, text it in to 81530 and
you’ll immediately be entered to win one of 8 grand prizes plus you’ll
receive a reply with an offer from one of our participating stores each
time!

Bug Fest 2008 - Drop into Tualatin Hills Nature Park & Interpretive Center on
Saturday, August 23, for a day that highlights all those tiny critters
(such as beetles, butterflies, bees, slugs and spiders.  These little
creatures help recycle fallen trees, pollinate flowers and provide food
to larger animals.  Games, displays, live bugs, Bug Lab, crafts and
guided activities offer fun for the whole family.  This year’s Bug Lab
will focus on spiders and their kin.  You can even bring in a bug to be
identified by an expert!

Summer Concert Series at SakeOne - Enjoy SakeOne’s beautiful lawn and delicious Saketini’s while listening to Stephanie Schneiderman of Dirty Martini & Keith Schreiner of Dahlia. Be sure to pack a picnic dinner!

There, that should give you some ideas! GO! Have fun, and be sure to let us know of anything I missed!
