Ballard District Council is taking place tonight, Wednesday, July 10, 7 p.m. at the Ballard Branch Library.

A guest from Australia will be making a guest lecture and Ballardites will learn about how the Bike Master Plan affects them.

But if those two items aren't enough to convince you, then you should know that it's the annual ice cream social!

With that in mind, you can expect reporter/renowned ice cream lover Zachariah Bryan to be there.
