1. The World Championship of Sand Sculpting had been held in Harrison Hot Springs British Columbia for nearly 20 years, but this year it moved to Federal Way. It has drawn top-notch sand sculptors from around the globe to compete in the yearly sand showdown, which is held in a parking lot near the Gene Juarez Academy and 24 Hour Fitness from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. And it's been extended for another week, ending Sunday, Oct. 10.
2. The artwork of Carolyn Burt and the jewelry of Joni Joachims is on display at the Proctor Art Gallery from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
3. With the approach of Christmas causing him to feel lonely in life and love, Robert Malone (Academy Award Winner Martin Landau) braves the wintery snow to arrive home from his job at the grocery store only to find a stranger (Academy Award Winner Ellen Burstyn) standing in his home in the film Lovely, Sill, which screens at 2:15 and 7 p.m. inside The Grand Cinema. What begins as an odd and awkward encounter quickly blossoms into what appears to be a romantic late life love affair that takes us on a heartfelt and wonderful journey, which takes an unexpected turn.
4. DJ Darren Selector spins Tacoma indie rock and underground hits at 6 p.m. every Monday at The New Frontier Lounge.
5. Karaoke with a live band continues Monday nights at Jazzbones beginning at 9 p.m.
