One-time events and ongoing activities (public and ticketed) in the Emerson-Garfield neighborhood.

Petunia’s Flower & Chocolate Festival (Apr 19)

Petunia’s Flower & Chocolate Festival (Apr 19)

It’s all going off in Emerson-Garfield this Saturday (April 19).

In addition to the Pancakes ‘n’ More breakfast at the Corbin Senior Center from 7:30 to 10:30am and the street-tree planting event on N. Maple from 8:30am to noon, Petunia’s Marketplace (2010 N Madison) will be holding a Flower and Chocolate Festival from 9am to 5pm. So why not make a neighborhood day of it?

Petunias Chocolate Festival 2014

As the flyer above says, there will be handmade chocolate Easter bunnies; seasonal lilies, flowers and herbs; antiques; and a wine and chocolate tasting between 1 and 5pm.

By the way, Petunia’s now carries local milk from Pure Éire Dairy in gallons and half-gallons. That means there’s now even more reason to stop in on a regular basis.

Pancakes ‘n’ More at Corbin (Apr 19)

Pancakes ‘n’ More at Corbin (Apr 19)

The Corbin Senior Center (827 W Cleveland) will be holding its annual Pancakes ‘n’ More event on Saturday, April 19 from 7:30 to 10:30am. It will take place in the center’s Henderson Room.

What’s on the menu? Pancakes, sausage, eggs, orange juice and your choice of coffee or hot chocolate. And that’s all for just $7 per person. If you’re planning on attending the street-tree planting event in Emerson-Garfield on the same day, this would make a great stop beforehand.

N. Monroe Business Outreach Event (Apr 17)

N. Monroe Business Outreach Event (Apr 17)

The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Planning group will be holding a business outreach event at CSL Plasma (2126 N. Monroe) on Thursday, April 17 at 7pm.

Business Outreach, April 17

The event is open to anyone who owns a business or property along or near N. Monroe, primarily those north of the “five corners” intersection with Indiana and NW Boulevard and south of the North Hill. The aim is to inform participants how the planning group arrived at some proposals for improvements to N. Monroe following a nearly two-year effort, and to solicit input from the business and property owners that speaks to their vision for this important corridor.

Light refreshments will be served at the event, which should run no more than 90 minutes. A number of guest speakers will be addressing the benefits of a large-scale revitalization effort, including Councilwoman Candace Mumm, urban planners, and business leaders from the E. Sprague and S. Perry districts.

This barbecue and planning event is open to all returning and new members of the Emerson Community Garden.

The garden’s directors will take this opportunity to share their vision for the ECG as it enters its third year and offer you the chance to participate. They’ll explain how the ECG is different from other community gardens, and you’ll also learn how you can become a member.

To RSVP and confirm your attendance, please call Tim or Lois Musser at 327-0385.

Korean Food Event (Apr 12)

Korean Food Event (Apr 12)

Good news for Asian food fanatics: Spokane Hope Christian Reformed Church (스포켄 소망교회) has switched from a biannual schedule to a monthly event with their Korean food sales! The next one will be on Saturday, April 12 from 11am to 2pm.

If you’re not already aware of where the SHCRC is, don’t worry. Raising awareness about the church is part of the reason why they hold these events. They share a building with Knox Presbyterian Church (806 W Knox), which is where the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market is held during market season. In fact, the SHCRC recently informed us that they’re hoping to have a vendor booth at the market this year.

April 2014 Korean Food SaleThere’s a bit more on the menu than last month — including kimchi fried rice and bibimbap. Recurring favorites like the potstickers and spicy pork are still there too. As always, all proceeds benefit the SHCRC.

For more info, call them on (509) 720-9646 or e-mail James at shinejds@gmail.com.
