Friday Five: "Laborless" Labor Day Weekend Events

When I think of the word labor all I can picture is toiling away in my yard working on my flowerbeds and sweating profusely while trying to rip out the weeds that seem to be overtaking my yard.

Instead how about a great round-up (really bad pun there, sorry) of events that require no labor at all!

1. The 66th Annual Seafood festival in Westport on Saturday the 1st is a tradition on the harbor for the better part of the last century.  If you are into salmon, white fish, shrimp cocktail, oysters, corn on the cob and clam chowder you just have to be in Westport this weekend!   Just $15 dollars gets you a full meal.


2. The Kelpers Day Parade in Pacific Beach is an all weekend event that ts also sure to bring a smile to your face.  What might Kelper mean you might ask?  The parade honors the Shake-rats who have a rich logging tradition in PB and kelp is just kelp.  The festival is a great chance to get out and celebrate the history of the area and watch some amazing demonstrations of log tossing!

3. If you are anything like this blogger, you adore the music of Journey.  Don't Stop Believing (DSB) at Quinault Beach Resort and Casino this Saturday evening is just the thing to get your Journey fix.  While the real band may be contemplating a reunion tour, you can enjoy their heart pounding music performed by DBS and have a few flashbacks of your own!

4. This weekend also marks the 4th Annual Salmon Bake in the Garden (Ocean Shores).  Staring at noon you can enjoy delicious roasted salmon at Garden by the Sea on Ocean Shores Boulevard.  What a way to enjoy the day on Saturday but with some delicious food and the ocean air.

5.  If vehicles screaming around a track and kicking up dust is more your thing, you will not want to miss the big rigs of  Rolling Thunder Big Rigs at Grays Harbor Raceway.  Saturday night will be the only time Rolling Thunder will be at the raceway in 2012 and is sure to bring a great show.  Saturday night $18.00 adult admission for raceway fun.
