When the USS Lincoln returns to Everett’s port Friday, visitors who boarded in San Diego will be on deck.
Some players and cheerleaders for the National Indoor Football League’s Everett Hawks will be onboard the aircraft carrier. They planned to sign autographs, perform cheers and teach aerobics.
The ship will return to port about 10 a.m. Friday, where they will be greeted by the rest of the Hawks team and staff, other local teams, community leaders and, most importantly, families of the sailors aboard three ships.
At an exhibition football game at 1:05 p.m. March 13 at the Everett Events Center, sailors will be honored.
Garden slide show set for Wednesday
Author and photographer Carolyn Starner offers “Emerald Journey: A Walk Through Northwest Gardens” at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Everett Library, 2702 Hoyt Ave.
This is the first program in the library Enid Nordlund Fund program series. When Nordlund died last year she left the library’s Northwest Room $50,000 and her collection of slides, movies, prints and correspondence. Her great passions were gardening and local history.
Starner will give a slide show and autograph copies of her photography book about gardens.
