Dear Rainier Beach Community,

We’re planning the upcoming Rainier Beach Harvest Fest, previously known as Boo Bash @ the Beach, and we’d love to celebrate with you! This is a FREE community event, but we need registrations and financial support to make it possible.

Please register by October 3rd at midnight. The number of registrations, along with donations and sponsorships received by that deadline, will determine whether we can move forward with the event.

Here are four ways to get involved:

* Register so we know you plan to attend.
* Donate or sponsor to help cover children’s activities, carnival time, Buffalo Soldiers, ClownBuggie entertainment, performers, promotional materials, candy, beverages, and food for volunteers.
* Volunteer to help bring the celebration to life.

Share this comment with neighbors, businesses, and community groups.

Every registration and gift helps us plan a welcoming celebration for Rainier Beach families. Thank you for showing up for our community!
