Organizers of Burien’s upcoming Arts-A-Glow Lantern Festival & Procession want our Readers to know that they could use more cowbell for this Saturday’s (Sept. 10th) annual Lantern Festival.
“Don’t forget to bring bells or windchimes to the GLOW to make beautiful sounds in the procession!” said Gina Kallman.
Of course Gina’s probably referring to nice-sounding bells or chimes, but we’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell:
