Where:  Cecil Ross Studio, 12851 Madison Ave NE, and Mesolini Glass Studio, 13291 Madison Ave NE

3. Composting Class
When: Friday, 1-2 p.m.
Where: In the garden at the Bainbridge Library, 1270 Madison Ave. N
Why: Does composting seem like one of those good ideas that you just can’t seem to get your head around? Get your questions answered for free during this one-hour workshop with master composter John Barutt. See? You didn’t even know there was such a thing as a master composter. You’ve got a lot to learn, young grasshopper.

4. Summer Movie Matinee: Fantastic Mr. Fox
When: Friday, 3:30 p.m.
Where: Bainbridge Library, 1270 Madison Ave. N
Why: Again with the free. This is a very good movie that adults will enjoy too, and it’s based on a book by the wicked Roald Dahl. Plus, George Clooney.

5. Rose & the Nightingale
When: Friday, 7-9 p.m.
Where: Bloedel Reserve, 7571 NE Dolphin Drive
Why: Imagine it’s the 19th century again, and wood nymphs are playing violin, cello, piano, and trumpet, and singing words written by poets that celebrate the bond between nature and the human spirit, in three-part harmonies no less, all of this happening as the sun sets on a bluff overlooking Puget Sound surrounded by beautiful gardens. No kidding. This is actually happening.

Tickets: $35 for non-member, $30 for member, $15 for children 13 years and younger. For info. call 206-842-7631. Or purchase tickets through Brown Paper Tickets.

6. Movies in the Park
When: Friday, 8:30-11 p.m.
Where:  Waterfront Park, 402 Brien Drive SE
Why: More free stuff. Get sleepy on Bainbridge while watching Sleepless in Seattle from your lawn chair in the park. Movie Maven TJ Faddis is emcee. There will be games and prizes too.

7. Frog Day
When: Saturday, 11-11:30 a.m.
Where: KiDiMu and downtown Winslow
Why: You know all those frogs around town? Come to the dedication and naming ceremony at the museum. The artists will be there and kids can enjoy a frog-themed activity (catching flies?). Followed by a frog scavenger hunt downtown, which might occupy your three-year-old all day. Read more here.

Free with membership or admission.

8. Books at Battlepoint
When: Saturday, 2 p.m.
Where: Battlepoint Park, 11299 Arrow Point Drive NE
Why: I don’t know when reading became a public activity, but reading in a beautiful park sounds nice. You and your fellow readers can turn pages together and eat your picnic lunches near the gazebo by the duck pond. Try not to get peanut butter on your book.

9. Planetarium Show: “Strange Optical Phenomena”
When: Saturday, 8-9 p.m.
Where: Ritchie Observatory at Battle Point Park, 11299 Arrow Point Drive NE
Why: Maybe you’ve never wondered about how the Sun, the Earth’s atmosphere, and space particles can combine to produce strange optical phenomena. I haven’t, but I have wondered how a combination of fingerprints, dog’s noses, and the lenses of my eyeglasses can. In any case, astronomer Dave Fong will explain. After the show, stargaze through the telescopes of BPAA astronomers and catch the meteors from the Perseid Meteor Shower.

$2.

10. Judaica Gift Shop Open House
When: Sunday, 2-5 p.m.
Where: Congregation Kol Shalom, 9010 Miller Road
Why: The Gift Shop got some new stuff including candles from Israel, menorahs, jewelry, traditional and ritual items, and works of art. Peruse during this special Open House.
