It’s not too late to visit the Tacoma Farmers Market located downtown on Broadway Street. It is open every Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. until October 16th. The market is lined with vendors selling fresh vegetables, baked goods, arts, crafts and my favorite; the fabulous flowers. To get additional information visit: http://www.tacomafarmersmarket.com/About.aspx

If you are looking for somthing fun and interesting to do over the 4th of July, come see the tall ships in the Tacoma port! The ships sail into Thea Foss Waterway on the 3rd and will be docked until the 7th of July. I was there the last time the ships came to Tacoma and how exciting it was. The 31 sailboats are from all over, one coming all the way from New Hampshire. The ships length size is anywhere from 70 to 266 feet with mast heights up to 75 feet. One of the boats that will be here this year was built by MGM Studios in 1960 for the film “Mutiny on the Bounty”. There will be parking at the Tacoma Dome where you can take a shuttle bus to the waterway. Enjoy going aboard the ships to hear the stories the crews are willing to tell! Visit http://www.thenewstribune.com/tallships/ to check out more detailed information on each vessel and all about the festivites. Hope you can come and see the excitment in Tacoma….don’t forget to bring your camera!

If you are looking for something fun to do this weekend the 4th annual flower & garden show starts on June 6th at Point Defiance Park. I went by there today and the tents are up and all fenced in for the vendors to display their exhibits. It is 12 acres full of foral designs, window boxes, arts and crafts, plant market and even a jazz garden. If you enjoy playing in the dirt and planting flowers this is the place to be. Even if you are not into gardening there will be something there for you too, I’m sure! For more information regarding the events, visit: http://www.ptdefianceflowershow.com/

I got a chance this weekend to watch a sailboat race on Puget Sound. One of the many pictures I took….I thought it was kind of a cool picture with the mirror image of the sails in the water.

Is it time for the annual business meeting, maybe a wedding reception or a trade show? The Greater Tacoma Convention & Trade Center just might be the place. It is one of Washington’s newest and largest meeting and convention facilities located in the heart of downtown Tacoma. I can’t think of a better place to have a meeting then at this place because of the spectacular views of Puget Sound and Mt. Rainier. To find out more about the venues, go to: http://www.tacomaconventioncenter.com/
