Koulee Kids Fest and Millpond Days this weekend

Kids and their parents in the region will have plenty to do this weekend, with the local chamber of commerce’s Koulee Kids Fest offering activities all over town and Nespelem’s Millpond Days offering activities there.

The chamber event for kids starts at 10 a.m. Saturday and offers 14 different activities around the community, from touring a fire truck to mini-golf, planting a flower, painting a piggy bank to free ice cream to building a dam.

Those locations and more are detailed on a map on page 8 in an advertisement.

Parents can pick and choose which activities are best for their kids and the pace to take.

The activities will culminate in a free 3 p.m. show at the old middle school gym featuring Phineas T. Ficklestein’s Physics Phactory.

In Nespelem, a Friday potluck dinner at the town park will honor a list of a dozen grand marshals for Saturday’s 11 a.m. parade. The potluck is at 5 p.m. A movie and dance happens from 9-11.

Saturday will also offer a 5K run/walk, a fundraiser breakfast at the senior center, a 3-on-3 basketball tournament and other street activities.
