(From our Lower Wallingford correspondent, Chris Witwer)
Lower Wallingford residents and businesses are hunkering down for tomorrow’s Chase Family Fourth Event at Gasworks Park. It looks like most of us will be spending the day in the ‘hood, or in places we can walk to.
Need an excuse to walk to Fremont Saturday morning? The Poetess of Greenlake is hosting a guerrilla poetry event at the Lenin Statue at 10 am Saturday.
Twenty authors from the Lenin Commemorative Poems contest will read their Lenin poems, and the poems will be publicly “poured” over Lenin himself. Contest winner Rebecca Elliot will see her five-line poem “This Is Not V.I. Lenin” memorialized in bronze near the statue, hopefully this fall. Come, listen, enjoy! And donate a few bucks for the bronze plaque if you’re so inclined. Happy Independence Day
