Get Out: Weekend Planner, Aug. 5-7

It’s Thursday, and you’ve got no idea what you’ll do for the weekend. 

Redmond Patch is coming to the rescue. We’ve got the best bets for your done-with-work-get-me-outta-here time. Check our picks for the activities to hit. 

• Where/When: 11 a.m. Saturday at
  
• Why Go: Most people think zucchinis are good for only a couple of things: roasting or making zucchini bread. Be prepared to have those preconceptions squashed this weekend as the Redmond Zucchini 500 returns to the Redmond Saturday Market. All supplies will be provided free of charge by market vendors, and prizes will be awarded. Participants are asked to pre-register at the market's info desk prior to the event.
  
• Pricing: Free

• Where/When: 9:30 p.m. outside
  
• Why Go: Has your teen or pre-teen got a case of the "I'm bored" summer blues? If so, send 'em to the Redmond Youth Partnership Advisory Committee's screening of Will Smith flick The Pursuit of Happyness this Friday evening. Even adults can get behind the idea of a free outdoor movie to cap (what is supposed to be) a beautiful summer day.

Seattle Seafair

• Where/When: All weekend long, Gennessee Park in Seattle
  
• Why Go: Seafair weekend means two things for Seattle-area residents: traffic headaches and a boat-load of family-friendly activities. Some of the highlights include the U.S. Navy Blue Angels demonstrations, hydroplane races and torchlight parade. Click here for a complete schedule, and be sure to time your bridge crossing carefully as both and will experience periodic closures during the festival.

Camlann Summer Village Festival

• Where/When: Noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Camlann Medieval Village in Carnation
• Why Go: Camlann is a medieval village in Carnation that recreates daily life in times of old. This is not a renaissance/fantasy fair, but a historically accurate living village of life in medieval times. There is a black smith’s shop, candle making, plays, music, feats and entertainment. Costumes may be rented for $10 for children, $25 for adults.
• Pricing: Children (5-12) $5, Adults $10
