Five Things to Do in And Around Portland This Weekend
Hillsboro School festival, Pug Walk, Mt. Tabor Art Walk.... Don't know what to do this weekend? Here are some ideas.
- Live in Hillsboro? head to the Hillsboro School's District second annual Proud to be HSD Festival on Saturday, May 21 from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. It's at the Hillsboro Farmer's Market and "serves as a celebration and showcase of the breadth and depth of Hillsboro students’ talents and achievements, and also provides an opportunity to highlight the various educational programs available in our schools." Go here for more information.
- May the pub be with you as you head to the Oregon Humane Society's annual Pug Crawl. The theme this year: Star Wars: The Pug Awakens. Expect pugs with Princess Leia buns. Really. Sunday May 22 Noon - 4 p.m. Go here for more information.
- It's not often you don't mind feeling inept and uncoordinated but head to the Lloyd Center on Saturday May 21 and watch people solve Rubik's Cube puzzles blindfolded, with one hand, while you struggle to tie your shoes... Some of them are truly amazing and they will be there competing. 9 a.m.-6p.m. Go here for more information.
- Here's a chance to get some exercise and see some beautiful art. The 11th Annual Mt. Tabor Art Walk takes place Saturday and Sunday, May 21 and May 22. Dozens of artists invite you to come visit their homes and studios. Go here for more information.
