More Pittsburgh Love

Pirate Ship in the Park Posted: 06 Sep 2007 09:35 PM CDT Family fun for everyone at Blue Slide Park.  This Saturday is the annual Story Walk.  Beginning with Books is an organization that exists to get more kids reading at a young age.  Each year Beginning with Books host a Story Walk in the park and brings books to life.  There are life sized story book settings in the park. This year's Story Walk is Pirate themed and the featured book is Henry and the Buccaneer Bunnies which was illustrated by Pittsburgher John Manders.  There will even be a giant pirate ship set up in Blue Slide Park. As any Pittsburgh child will tell you, Blue Slide Park is the BEST playground in town located at the entrance to Frick park on Beechwood Blvd.  See a map of the park here.  Here (and here) are some nice posts about others who love Blue Slide Park.

Dog Days of Summer Posted: 06 Sep 2007 04:38 PM CDT Well it isn't actually the dog days of summer because we are past the hottest days of the summer.  According to Wikipedia, the dog days of summer are usually mid July to mid August.  But this event deserves the name dog days.  You and your favorite pet can enjoy one last splash of summer together at Sandcastle. This is definitly the ultimate canine pool party.  All proceeds benefit Animal Friends. Before the pools are drained for the summer and autumn leaves cover the park grounds, Sandcastle Water Park is throwing open its gates for the ultimate canine pool party. Hot dogs will find cool relief at Sandcastle, splashing around in the wave pool and feasting on chicken-flavored snow cones. Human guests will enjoy fun games and a canine bathing suit contest. We'll also be offering a "kiddie pool" reserved for dogs 35-pounds and under to frolic with fidos of their own size! Limited spaces are available, so register early! Admission is $15 per dog and benefits our homeless residents. Humans may attend for free. Don't miss this guaranteed great time! Call 412.847.7056 to secure your spot for the 1:30 - 3:30 session today! There are a couple of things mentioned in this event description that are worth repeating… chicken-flavored snow cones canine bathing suit contest kiddie pool for smaller dogs From the Trib website: Dogs must be non-aggressive, over four months of age, current on shots and wearing an identification tag. Owners must accompany their dogs at all times and keep dogs leashed while outside of the pool. The swimming fun is exclusively for the canine crowd; humans are permitted in the pool only up to their knees.

Behind The Scenes Posted: 06 Sep 2007 03:34 AM CDT If you are like me, then you are one of those people that really like to know how things work behind the scenes.  I spent a few years after collage working for a company that sold industrial equipment, industrial dairy processing equipment (but that is a story for another time).  I loved spedning time in these factories seeing how cheese is made and packages and shipped. This Friday, you can go behind the scenes of the Pittsburgh City Theater at their open house .  See the theater and taste some food from local south side restaurants. Pittsburgh City Theater Open House Friday, September 7, 5-10pm CityTheaterCompany.org
