In honor of Earth Day this week, we turn to Chief Seattle for words of wisdom.

Save the Date!

Earth Day: Celebrate Earth Day on Wednesday, April 22 with BEST! We will be doing a special giveaway in honor of the 45th anniversary of this special and important day with a wonderful gift box courtesy of our friends at the Curran Apple Orchard in University Place! Watch for the announcement on Tuesday, with the giveaway happening Wednesday evening. Entering is easy: just like the post on Wednesday and you will be entered automatically in our random drawing. Good luck!

Hot roller derby action: See our wonderful community partner, the JBLM Bettie Brigade, take on the Atomic City Roller Girls  at their next home bout at Rollin’ 253 in Tacoma on Saturday, April 25 at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Children under eight years old are free. Buy your tickets online here. Better: during the event there will be a silent auction to win “Skate with a Bettie, ” a private skating session with your favorite skater. Proceeds of the auction will be donated to BEST. Let’s get out there and cheer on our favorite team!
