First Friday in Ellensburg

Every First Friday in our town is Art Walk night. Downtown venues, from galleries to restaurants, salons to the funeral and tribute center feature new exhibits every month. We also have a First Friday Dance at the Moose Lodge, showcasing local bands and great acts from around the Northwest.

This Friday, my friend and I checked out a mixed artist, mixed media exhibit at the local Edward Jones office, and Colleen was especially knocked out by a painting by my mom, Sharon Hull, titled, "Cowboy Blues". I really liked the Yakima Canyon paintings by Edna Bjorge.

We walked next door and dined at the Dakota Cafe. We started with a mussel appetizer, then Colleen enjoyed the Brandied Scampi, while I had the Tortellini and Squash with Hazelnuts...mmmm!

I definitely recommend a stroll downtown on First Friday...locals will meet friends and neighbors, and visitors will meet new friends, while seeing so much of what our downtown has on offer.
