Musical expression has inspired Kate from a young age. Growing up listening to a diverse range of music, inspired by The Beatles, Jack Johnson, the sound of the 90s, and nature, she expresses her soul with intimate songwriting and eclectic covers. Expressing vulnerability and the paths we choose as we navigate through life, Kate provides authentic sounds from the heart.

Between the two short years of 1942-1944, an amazing 25,000 women applied to fly planes for the US Army Airforce. Only 1 of 25 applicants made it through to the intensive training program. The 1,074 graduates became Women Airforce Service Pilots, the first women to fly US military planes, serving as civilian pilots in an experimental Army Air Force program.

Washington State was home to more than twenty of those determined young women.

Stay for a Q&A after the performance.

You don’t have to be a child to appreciate the wonder, relevance, and power of children’s literature! In honor of Children’s Book Week, join Young People’s Librarian Elizabeth George as she shares a curated selection of favorite picture books. This presentation invites readers of all ages to rediscover the magic of storytelling through beautiful illustrations, timeless tales, and meaningful messages!

With captivating amounts of energy, Alex Zerbe moves like a rubber band from one end of the stage to the other. Beatboxing, juggling, dancing, singing, music, and magic are just a few of the things that led Piers Morgan of America’s Got Talent to call Alex “the total package.”

The “Professional Zaniac,” whoʼs been cracking jokes onstage for almost 15 years, zigzags between physical stunts and non-stop comedy. During the show, vegetables are sliced in half by flying playing cards, flaming torches and bowling balls are juggled with ease, and every audience volunteer leaves the stage in triumph.

A self-described “human cartoon,” his show isnʼt only for the kids in the family. “I try to make my show like the movie Shrek, super entertaining for the kids, but there’s a whole other level of comedy for teens and adults,” says Zerbe. Formerly of the award-winning duo Brothers from Different Mothers, Zerbe is a Hacky Sack World Champion, was voted The Pacific Northwest’s Funniest Prop Comic, and is currently ranked Seattle’s 3rd Best Air Guitarist. Heʼs performed everywhere from cruise ships and comedy clubs to prime-time television in three countries, including “Americaʼs Got Talent!” and “Last Comic Standing.”

This interactive workshop invites children to explore their creativity through playful activities inspired by Latin American cultural traditions. Using theater games, music, dance, and storytelling, participants will experience the joy of imagination and collaboration.

Children will learn about circle games, rhythms, and celebrations from across Latin America—brought to life through engaging, age-appropriate theatrical play!

 In an era of wildfires, drought, and species decline, Vermejo is proof that ecosystem restoration is possible. And it’s a blueprint for where it can happen next. Preserved is more than a film—it’s a call to action. From farmers and ranchers to hikers and hunters, we all have a role to play.

For nearly 175 years, the Southwestern United States has seen civilizations rise and fall, leaving behind landscapes stripped by time and industry. Northern New Mexico’s 560,000-acre Vermejo is one such place—a land rich with history, from dinosaurs and early Indigenous communities to homesteaders, a conservation-minded grain baron, and Hollywood’s glitterati seeking outdoor recreation. But modern times took their toll, leaving it overgrazed and scarred by mining.

In 1996, Ted Turner bought the land as part of his work to restore and protect lands across the United States. A dedicated team began to work to heal the land, transforming it into a thriving sanctuary. Today, Vermejo stands as a testament to what’s possible: biodiversity restored, landscapes reborn, and a model for global conservation.

Shot over 130+ days in breathtaking cinematography, Preserved unveils this hidden paradise, capturing ancient archaeological wonders and unseen wildlife behaviors—bears stealing mountain lion kills, microscopic worlds thriving in water-filled potholes, and animals adapting to a changing planet. Scientists, ranchers, and visionaries come together to revive a landscape once thought lost, with voices like media mogul Ted Turner, leading conservationist Kris Tompkins, and renowned author Craig Childs.

Join us downtown for a free celebration of well-being that brings together more than 20 local businesses focused on heart, mind, lifestyle, and spirit. Explore products, services, and self-care routines designed to help you feel your best.

The fair also features four interactive workshops led by local wellness professionals — a perfect chance to learn, connect, and recharge.

Join us at the Downtown Farmers Market. You'll find fresh-cut flowers, flower baskets, beautifully crafted artisan items, and of course local produce.
