SATURDAY, JULY 3, 2010 >>>
1. Like cherries, handmade knickknacks, ice sculptures and free parking for your SUV? Then you'll love the Puyallup Farmers Market, a valley institution for nearly as long as cows have been tipped. Engulfing historic downtown P-town from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday - drawing impressive crowds on a regular basis - there's no doubt Ezra Meeker would be proud of what the Puyallup Farmers Market has blossomed into.
2. The Tacoma Polo Club's Independence Cup hits the field (202 288th St. S. in Roy) - with Mt. Rainier as the backdrop - from noon to 6 p.m. Bring a picnic lunch, pet the horses, and swing a mallet. A chukker, by the way, is a period of play in a polo game lasting 7 1/2 minutes.
3. As part of the 2010 American Harp Society conference, harpists and tango dancers from Seattle's Spectrum Dance perform works by Salzedo and Piazzolla at 7:30 p.m. inside the Pantages Theater.
4. Fingertips perform Motown, funky R&B, and blues at 9 p.m. inside The Hub.
5. The Ben Union Band performs at 9 p.m. inside Doyle's Public House.
