Celebrate the Chum!

I'll be looking for more salmon festivities over the next few weeks. But while listening to KPLU this morning, I learned of the Carkeek Salmon Celebration in Seattle that takes place on Nov. 23 from noon - 2 pm. This web site is by the state Fish and Wildlife Department, and lists other events going on at other parks in the area as the chum (still red, I guess, but less flashy than their oncorhynchus sockeye cousins).

This is to view the chum salmon making their way up the creek in the park, and I checked, not that many chum come up the Cedar River, near my house, so I'll have to look elsewhere.
