The West Seattle Hi-Yu Summer Festival Weekend was scheduled to begin Friday at noon in Hiawatha Park. However, Ballard entertainer Tony Comito magically appeared an hour earlier to mystify more than 150 young day campers.
Rainier Beach, High Point, Alki, and Hiawatha Community Center day camps were represented in the audience, each group distinguished by its official color-coded T-shirt.
Volunteers from the audience who assisted Comito with a variety of his magic tricks were rewarded with a balloon animal.
"You can choose any animal you'd like, as long as it's a dog," he told one volunteer.
This event was co-sponsored by Seattle Parks and Recreation.
