Celebrate Kirkland Auction

All those fun festivities downtown every Fourth of July donโ€™t come free, so Celebrate Kirkland is planning an auction on Presidentโ€™s Day Weekend to help make this yearโ€™s parade and fireworks come off with a bang.

The auction is from 5-8 p.m. this Sunday, Feb. 19, at Parkplace Center, in the former TGIF restaurant above Rikki Rikki, and will include donated services such as spa treatments, fine wines, crafts, jewelry and more. A donation of $15 is requested -- donations are tax-deductible -- and wine and munchies will be served

Celebrate Kirkland operates under the auspices of the non-profit Kirkland Downtown Association and has produced the cityโ€™s Fourth of July festivities for 13 years, including its two parades (childrenโ€™s and old-fashioned), the picnic at Marina Park and the spectacular fireworks show at night.

To bring it off, the group must raise about $60,00 annually. Find out about how to help here. Questions? Contact auction chairs Kellie Jordan, Penny Sweet and Elke Grimm at 425-686-0164.
