Weekend revelry roundup: Spring fairs, bar hops and plant sales

  You've done it! Congratulations on making it to the weekend, your reward? Lots of cool things to go do!  It's the opening weekend of the Washington State Spring Fair in Puyallup.  There's all your classic fair fun, including the Motorsports Mayhem and a trip back to the Jurassic Era with full scale animatronic dinosaurs!  You can get tickets at thefair.com  It's the Seattle Cherry Blossom and Japanese Cultural Festival at the Seattle Center and Armory. You can learn about why these trees are so popular and their history, while enjoying tea ceremonies, folktales, and other celebrations of Japanese culture.  The Festival is free, open to the public and runs today through Sunday, 11-5.  Tonight at the Hotel Crocodile it's a night of Latin Music and Art. There will be live music, films, photography, tattooing and food. The event is free to check out but it is 21+.  If you want to see some titans of comedy, tickets are still available for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Restless Leg Tour tomorrow. There are two shows  at the WAMU theater, 3 and 6 pm. Tickets are limited and it is a bit on the pricey side of things to do this weekend. Get tickets from wamutheater.com  It's the 35th annual Best of the Northwest Spring Show. It's a two day show that showcases handmade art from all mediums by over 100 artists. You can even see how the art gets made during the Artists in Action events going on, plus there will be demos and plenty of chances to learn a new craft. All ages are welcome and tickets can be found at nwartalliance.org. If you are like me and holes in your clothes is a common experience, the Refugee Artisan Initiative is here to help with the Public Mending Fair. From Noon to 3 on Saturday at the Maker Space, the Initiative will help with sewing a button, sewing an open seam, patching a hole and hemming pants. You can bring up to three articles of clothing and visitors will have up to 20 minutes of free mending service. First come, first serve. More details at refugeesarts.org  Enjoy a cold beer and check out the shops of Georgetown with the Georgetown Makers Market and Bar Hop. There will be 30 shop makers to check out, showing off their goods of home decor, metal working, prints, and more. Local breweries like Jellyfish Brewing are part of the bar hop. The fun starts Saturday at Noon.  Seattle Resturaunt week begins on Sunday, you get details at srweek.org If you need some plants for your home or garden, the Washington Park Arboretum is having a plant sale on Sunday from 10-2. There will be trees, shrubs perenials and more available to buy. Parking and admission is free.  These are just some of the MANY things going on this weekend.
