SEQUIM — Sunny smiles from children marching in their parade or taking part in other Festival on the Field activities Saturday helped take the chill off the day as the 107th Sequim Irrigation Festival kicked into high gear.
The mercury in the thermometer tickled 50 degrees, but a light breeze and drizzle that lasted most of the afternoon reddened fingers and noses, making activities under the big, white tent the favored events for almost all attendees.
Face-painting, gluing shiny pieces of paper together and hammering nails into lumber for planters were among the favorite activities under the big tent during the Festival on the Field.
A rain shower at about 1 p.m. sent most heading for cover or home.
But when weather cooperated, children learned the fine art of juggling or scooped giant bubbles from tubs of soapy water only to see them race away on the wings of the breeze.
