Army Band performs in Marysville

The 133rd Army Band is planning a performance for 7 p.m. Friday in Jennings Park, 6915 Armar Road, Marysville.

The performance is the first in the city’s Sounds of Summer concert series. The band plans a variety of pieces from big band standards to rock and jazz numbers.

Sale to benefit kids at Christmas

A Lynnwood woman is planning a garage sale to raise money for a program that helps children of low-income families shop for Christmas gifts.

The garage sale is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at 3505 180th Place SW. Proceeds benefit the Lynnwood Police Department’s Shop With a Cop program.

Sue Emme, a former cook for the Edmonds School District, donated $1,800 from her 2006 garage sale to help fund the program. The cash helped pay for gifts for 12 mothers and 30 children.
