We did it: we made it through last week! The weather’s a little cooler now, so let’s get out there. Here are some things to check out.

Tuesday night at the Walters Cultural Arts Center you’ll find Open Poetry. Stop by and read some poetry, or just list.

On Thursday there’s the Kid’s Bike Rodeo at 10AM. If the kids bring their bikes they can learn about bike safety with the Hillsboro Police Department.

If you haven’t seen Kubo and the Two Strings, the acclaimed claymation film made right here in Hillsboro, head to Pix on the Plaza on Friday.

Finally, on Saturday, there’s the Northwest Fossil Fest over at the Rice Museum of Rocks and Minerals. You’ll learn about fossils found right here in the Pacific Northwest, and you’ll have the chance to see many of them.
