EVENTS

Craft fair

A Craft and Vendor Fair will take place June 7 to 9 as part of the third annual Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce Carnival.

The idea is to give parents something fun to do while kids go on rides. The Craft Fair and carnival take place between The Home Depot and Cabela’s. The Craft Fair will be from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. those three days. The carnival will start a day earlier. Cost is free for chamber members, $60 for others and $150 for food vendors.

For details, call the chamber at 360-659-7700.

Folk Harp Circle

It will run from 2 to 4:45 p.m. April 14 at the Mountlake Terrace Library.

OPPORTUNITY

Public garden

Work on the relocation of the Community Garden to the corner of Third Street and French Avenue is under way.

City employees have installed water lines for irrigation, constructed garden boxes and filled them with soil. A chain-link fence around the garden will be installed in coming weeks to separate it from Presidents Elementary School and the Arlington School District main offices.

The new garden will provide spaces for students to learn about horticulture, soils, botany and other topics.

The garden, which is much larger than the previous one, also will have beds for the Arlington Food Bank to have fresh produce through the growing season. People interested in having space can add their names to the waiting list by calling volunteer coordinator Beth Countryman at 360-435-2991.
