A year ago, on the November Walk-n-Talk, we 9 walkers happened upon a secret little gem of a folk art sculpture garden in Burien’s Gregory Heights neighborhood. What a treat! Even in the rain, the colorful, free-form whirligigs and characters shimmered and enchanted us.
(Read more about that visit to Glenn and Jean’s incredible Burien Folk Art Sculpture Garden HERE.)
We’re going back again! If you weren’t one of the lucky ones to tour the sculpture garden last year, this is your chance to see it this coming Sunday. Don’t miss it. This is one of the cool things you’ll find here in Burien.
If you’ve enjoyed the Halloween candy a little too much and end up feeling cooped up with the recent rainfall, come out for a walk! Have a nice chat with other local folks. Get some fresh air and chase the doldrums away. (And if you have your pedometer, come see how many steps you can log toward your daily goal of 10,000.)
The forecast is for wet skies, so wear jackets and footwear that will keep you comfortable and smiling. This is a FREE event and is enjoyable for all ages (including little ones in strollers and four-legged friends).
Date: Sunday, November 1, 2015 (Rain or shine).
(Don’t forget that the clocks will have turned BACK one hour during the night before the walk!)
