The sun may just peek out from behind the clouds this weekend, and I have a full spring itinerary at the ready. First, there’s a brand-new playground that is sure to brighten up any day. Next, the Washington State Spring Fair just popped up — it’s one of 15 spring festivals to look forward to before summer rolls around. And my top 10 weekend events will have you visiting with farm animals, hunting for treasure and sampling pickle soup.
