The electric "cars" are racing again tomorrow in Lacey. We went a couple of years ago and had a pretty good time. Lots of electric and alternative energy vehicles on display and the competition of the quiet speeders zipping around the track.

We are taking the grandsons to watch tomorrow if the weather cooperates. It's a great time, hope to see you there.

North America’s Great Ape: The Sasquatch
Saturday, May 3, 2008 @ 1 PM

Wildlife biologist Dr. John Bindernagel takes a look at the continent’s most misunderstood large mammal as he speak about his more than 30 years experience studying Bigfoot. He is the author of “North America's Great Ape: The Sasquatch.” Bindernagel’s work highlights some 150 Sasquatch reports and compares them with similar reports of great apes in Africa and Asia. He focuses on the behavior of Sasquatch, including its response to human presence. His field work consists of evidence gathered in the mountains of Vancouver Island, and the ecological questions surrounding the life of a great North American ape. The presentation will be preceded by a book signing hosted by the State Capital Museum Store from 10 AM to NOON. For cost and to purchase tickets, please call the State Capital Museum at 360/753-2580.
