This Summer's Biggest Show Is In The Sky!
When: Aug 10-13, 2014 12AM-Dawn
Where: Northeast Sky, 25' degrees above horizon

Grab a lawn chair and a blanket -- and watch the show!
The annual August Perseid meteor shower probably ranks as the all-time favorite meteor shower of the year. This major shower takes place during the lazy, hazy days of summer, when many families are on vacation. And what could be more fun than watching this summertime classic?
No matter where you live, the 2014 Perseid meteor shower will probably be at its best on the nights of August 10-13, especially August 12 when the shower peaks. Try the nights before and after that, too. Before dawn viewing is best. You'll often see 50 to 100 meteors per hour. They radiate from a point in the constellation Perseus the Hero, and are typically fast and bright meteors frequently leaving persistent trails. Each year, the Perseid's combine with the Delta Aquarid meteor shower to produce the year’s most dazzling display of shooting stars! (Tips for best viewing below.)

Better yet, have a friendly neighbor fix it - for free!
Come to East Multnomah County’s first-ever Repair Café; a free event that connects people who like to fix things with people who need a hand.
Volunteers will tackle:

  • Bike repairs (tires, chains, gears, etc.)
  • Small appliance repairs (fans, blenders, toasters, etc.)
  • Sewing needs (rips, buttons, hems, etc.)
  • Electronics repairs (toys, clocks, microwaves, etc.)

Repair Cafe
The Rosewood Initiative is a nonprofit aimed at improving life in Rosewood, the neighborhood that straddles Gresham and Portland near the intersection of 162nd and Burnside. The initiative partnered with the city of Gresham, the city of Portland, and Repair PDX, the nonprofit that brought repair café events to Portland for the first time in 2013.
Repair Café events started in the Netherlands in 2010 as a way to help people reduce waste and save money. Gresham’s Department of Environmental Services is supporting the event as a way to reduce the amount of waste going into landfills each year.

David Gerald in concert one night only, Wed Aug 20th at Parklane Park, 155th & SE Main St. Part of the Portland Parks & Recreation's Summer Free For All program
David Gerald, the son of Mississippi born and raised parents, grew up to the sounds of the blues and R&B music in his hometown, Detroit. Gerald started playing guitar at the age of 16, influenced by Prince and 80's rock guitarists. He rediscovered the blues and listened to the music of Albert King, ZZ Hill, B.B. King, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, to name just a few.
Gerald performed in many local blues, R&B, and rock bands cutting his guitar and vocal chops live and in person. Now in his 40's, Gerald is playing nationally with his own band. This summer, he will be performing at clubs and festivals across the United States. Don't miss this opportunity!
Folks should bring a blanket or chairs. They can bring a picnic or snacks -- or purchase them from the vendors -- Bora Bora (grilled chicke plus tacos, burritos) and Scoop (hand-made ice cream).
You can find more information about this group, including videos & samples of their music at: http://www.davidgerald.com/presskit.php. See you at the concert!
