Date: 12/1/2020 - 12/31/2020
Location: Yakima
1401 Arboretum Dr, Yakima, WA 98901
In this time of social distancing, getting outside is one of the best ways to reduce stress, be active, and see and do new things.
Thanks to a collaboration between the Yakima Area Arboretum, Cowiche Canyon Conservancy, and the Yakima Greenway, we have put together a page called, "Get Outside Yakima!" for FREE outdoor activities that require little to no resources needed for families and individuals of all ages, as well as online sources of educational information for indoor learning.
The page will be updated when there are new activities and new sights to see that come with spring! Please pass this around and let us know if there are other free public green spaces or if you have activities to suggest for the page. This is your chance to get outside and truly appreciate why Yakima and the world needs its green spaces, now more than ever!

We are super bummed about needing to close our tasting room again. On the bright side, it gave us a little free time to decorate the winery and line up our old pal Santa to kick it. Load up your family truckster to come see the lights and say hi to Santa and his winedeer. Hot chocolate and candy canes for the kids (in all of us). This is definitely not a Clark Griswold-level light spectacle, but it could definitely qualify as a reason to get out of the house! We could all use a little cheer this year, and hopefully this will get you in the holiday spirit. Santa will be here on Saturdays thru December 19th from dusk until 7:00 p.m. See the lights anytime you would like!

*Three For Silver's Lucas Warford at The Seasons Performance Hall
Date: 12/5/2020
Location: Yakima
Online at theseasonsyakima.com
7:30pm. No one else does what Lucas Warford does. We should be grateful for this, because things would be pretty loud and annoying if this kind of behavior was generally acceptable.
NW folk legend Baby Gramps called him, "The acid baby of Tom Waits and Les Claypool." This statement works well as both a description and an excuse, and furthermore, should give you an indication as to whether he is likely to become your most loved or most hated musician. Polarizing, may be a more succinct description.
His band is called Three For Silver, and they have studiously avoided classification for about seven years, much to the despair of their long suffering PR team.
In this rare solo show he will rotate on a selection of his one-of-a-kind or uncommon instruments, including five-string resonator bass, bass banjo, mandobass, and resonator mandolin.
Song selection will range from depressing to maudlin, with a couple Christmas murder ballads tossed in to lighten the mood.
