The chef prepares a gourmet meal using the farm's and other local products and serves it with wine pairings. It all takes place outdoors in an apple orchard over- looking the Cascade Mountains. Owners David and Cindy Krepky will welcome us to their 25-acre farm with smiles, champagne and sparkling water. A tour of the farm will show everything they grow and how they take care of their animals. We'll also learn about sustainable growing methods that result in nutrient-dense food with superior flavor and longer shelf life. Dinner will be served on white-clothed picnic tables with stunning views of the Tolt River Valley. The chef will explain each of five courses, all prepared in an open-air kitchen and served family style, and the winemaker will discuss the pair- ings. Spread over three hours, the dinner takes a leisurely pace and allows time to savor the bounty of our area. Gather your friends for this memorable evening. Price includes round-trip motor coach transpor- tation from the WAC. 2–8:30 pm; $125; noncancelable ESCAPADES Lawn Bowling at Woodland Park Wednesday, August 8 Popular for centuries, lawn bowling has a worldwide following. Currently played in more than 40 countries, lawn bowling started in Britain and is related to bocce (Italian) and pétanque (French). Lawn bowling is a game of skill, camaraderie and fierce competition. Simplified, the game is played in teams of two or four on level and manicured greens, called rinks. The objec- tive is to roll special weighted balls (called bowls) closer to a smaller ball (called a jack) than your opponents. An instructor will be assigned to each rink and will pro- vide equipment, teach the finer points of the game and help with scorekeeping. Players will meet at Woodland Park for a two-hour lesson. Afterward, everyone will walk a few short blocks to St. Andrews Bar and Grill for a hearty pub dinner. You'll enjoy a small house salad with your choice of one of three entrées: Robert the Bruce Burger, Sean Connery Wild Salmon Burger or Robert Burns Veggie Burger. Please have your entrée choice ready when you make your reservation. Grab a friend and test your skill at this traditional English game. 6–9 pm; $45; cancel by July 31 Car, Cars and More Cars: The New LeMay—America's Car Museum & Kirkland Concours d'Elegance Sunday, September 9 NEW LeMay—America's Car Museum (ACM) celebrates our country's love affair with the automobile. Located next to the Tacoma Dome, this 165,000-square-foot four-story museum is a one-of-a-kind showcase of the best car collection in the world. It houses up to 350 cars, trucks and motorcycles from private owners, corporations and the LeMay collection, which stood at more than 3,500 vehicles, a world record, in the mid-1990s. The collection on display will cover 90 years and includes a 1906 Cadillac Model M, a 1919 Stanley Steamer, a 1926 Ford Model T and a 1983 DeLorean DMC. In addition to the muse- um, this visit includes the Kirkland Concours d'Elegance, adjacent to the museum on the 3.5-acre Haub Family Field. A judged, mostly exotic high-end foreign car show, the Concours d'Elegance showcases an amazing blend of classic cars, including Aston Martins, Lotuses and Jaguars. The Kirkland Concours d'Elegance is a charitable event benefitting Seattle Children's hospital and ACM. Our daytrip includes beverages and breakfast pastries at the WAC, motor coach, two-hour docent tour of the museum, admission to the Concours d'Elegance, and free time for lunch on your own in the ACM café or from a food kiosk.
