Ballard High School homecoming football game
Today's the day to show your Beaver nation pride. It's homecoming weekend.
First, to get amped up for the football game, Beavers will be gathering for a tailgate party at 4:30 p.m. The band, cheerleaders and dance team (and you!) will all be there to help send off the football team, and there will be food and festivities for everyone. It'll be taking place in the parking lot at Ballard High School next to the pool.
Then, at 7:00 p.m., in Memorial Stadium, the Ballard Beavers will be squaring off against the Newport Knights, who are in the top 10 statewide. However, in an interview with the BNT, wide receiver Nate Rauda said the team was confident they can bag another win. Make sure to show up in full force and show your pride!
Car wash for girls basketball team
With rain taking such a long leave of absence, you probably need your car washed. Because, really, who washes their own car?
Luckily, BHS's girls basketball team is trying to raise money and is holding a car wash from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, at Bernie's Automotive (4420 Leary Way NW).
It's their last car wash of the season, so pitch in and help support the girls.
Sustainable Ballard Festival
It's here! The 9th Annual Sustainable Ballard Festival is happening on Sunday, Sept. 30, at the Ballard Commons Park (across from the Ballard Branch Library). Have fun and learn about all your favorite green technologies: solar installations! Rain gardens and cisterns! Electric and cargo bikes! There'll even be solar mini-car races.
And of course, BNT's reporter will be there running around taking pictures. More info.
