Gather the kids for an afternoon of music and fun with performer Alleyoop, aka Al Hirsch, a children’s entertainer and educator who will get kids dancing and laughing during a Concerts for Kids performance at 11 a.m. Saturday at Northgate Community Center, 10510 Fifth Ave. N.E.


Billy Bear will join Alleyoop Saturday at the Northgate Community Center.

Alleyoop plays guitar, ukulele and Appalachian dulcimer, and he also whistles tunes from all over the world. All children must be accompanied by an adult and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis for this free event.

Also this weekend, you’re invited to both explore and help improve Thornton Creek Park No. 6, which is located in north Maple Leaf at Northeast 105th Street and Eighth Avenue Northeast. The adventures will start at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Northgate Community Center, where Ruth Williams, of the Thornton Creek Alliance, and Jeanie Murphy-Ouellette, naturalist and Feet First walking ambassador, will lead participants on a 90-minute walk through “two of the North End’s best-kept secret parks and natural areas.”

The tour will include a glimpse of the beaver pond at Thornton Creek Park No. 6, and take you to Victory Creek Park, which is located at 1059 N.E. Northgate Way, just east of the QFC at Roosevelt Way Northeast.

If you’d like to get to know the Thornton Creek Park a little better, Williams will be back Sunday for a work party there from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The main task will be weeding and mulching around young plants. Snacks, beverages, laminated gloves and tools will be provided, but volunteers are asked to dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes.

Interested? Meet on the south side of Northeast 105th Street, between Fifth Avenue Northeast and Eighth Avenue Northeast. For more information, contact Williams at ruthalice@comcast.net or 206-930-8965.
