Several North Olympic Peninsula events have been postponed, most because of the threat of several inches of snow falling today and Saturday.

Among them is the Port Townsend Rhododendron Festival coronation that had been set for Saturday in Chimacum and the Sequim Irrigation Festival coronation, also set for Saturday.

No new date has been set for the Irrigation Festival pageant.

Organizers of another event are considering postponement but will probably not make a decision until Saturday.

To check if the Sequim Community Orchestra will present a free concert at 2 p.m. Saturday at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 N. Blake Ave., as planned, check the website at sequimcommunity orchestra.org.

Postponed for a different reason than the weather is the performance of the original one-act play “The Grange” which was originally to be performed at the Chimacum Grange this Saturday and Sunday.

But author and director Angela Gyurko said that so far, the play lacks a full cast. Once it has been cast, a date for the production will be announced.

The expectation of bad weather has led to other postponements.
