Does your fowl have pluck?

The Bainbridge Island Farmers Market invites customers to bring chickens clad in their best party attire to the market this weekend for the Poultry Pageant. That’s dresses, not dressing; the fun will include rounds of Fowl Bingo and lots of educational tidbits about our fine feathered farm friends.

The market runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Town Square by City Hall; bring in your bird by 11 a.m.

Seales to tickle the Sunday ivories

First Sundays at the Commons presents the Mark Seales Trio at 4 p.m. Sept. 13 at the Bainbridge Commons, featuring jazz pianist Seales with Jeff Johnson on bass and Gary Hobbs on drums. A noted pianist and composer who has shared stages with many of the great players of the last two decades, Seales is a key player in the Northwest jazz scene.

Find the Commons at 402 Brien Dr. Admission is at the door: $20/adults, $15/seniors, $10/students. See www.firstsundaysconcerts.org.
