At A Glance: January 2022 events

Listen to some music, play in the snow, and get to meet your local journalists.

December 29, 2021 11:00 am
Visitors to Cole Street have been enjoying weekly "snow" events every Friday from 5 to 5:30, when portions of the street close to allow folks to enjoy food and drinks outdoors around fire pits (if the weather is clear). Going into January, the snow events are expected to move to Saturdays at the same time. Photo by Ray Miller-Still

SINGLE EVENTS

Dec. 30

• This is the due date to submit any designs for Enumclaw’s new municipal flag. To enter the contest, submit your artwork along with a short explanation of your design (why your flag should be chosen, the meaning behind various colors, symbols, shapes, etc.) to ahibbs@ci.enumclaw.wa.us. A design will likely be picked by the city council sometime in the new year, likely after a formal public comment and review period.

Jan. 10, 2022

• Crystal Mountain Resort will host a Mountain Safety Fest starting this day, and ending Jan. 16, open to all ages and skill levels. The mountain-wide scavenger hunt aims to teach snow sports enjoyers how to stay safe. Prizes will be awarded for those who complete various missions while practicing mountain safety exercises like avalanche awareness, equipment checks and more.

Jan. 15

• The city of Enumclaw is tentatively planning a snow play day behind the Arts Alive and Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce buildings on Cole Street. According to Cultural Programs and Events Coordinator Alina Hibbs, the event is “extremely” weather dependent, and if the dump trucks that have volunteered to go up to Crystal Mountain to be loaded up with snow cannot make the trip, the event will be cancelled. If the snow can be delivered, families can expect to enjoy a sledding hill and a small play area like last year’s inaugural event.

• Dr. Crüe, a Mötley Crüe tribute band, will be performing at the Chalet Theatre at 8 p.m. (doors open an hour earlier); tickets are $20 in advance (www.eventbrite.com/e/dr-crue-tickets-217259698607), or $25 at the door.

Jan. 22

• The Chalet Theatre is hosting a Battle of the Bands between Alive 85, an Elvis tribute band, and The Warning, a Black Sabbath tribute band. Doors open at 7 p.m. with the show beginning at 8 p.m. Tickets can be bought at www.eventbrite.com/e/elvis-vs-ozzy-tickets-201881692577.

Snow on Cole

• The popular Snow on Cole events are moving from Fridays from 5 to 5:30 p.m. to Saturdays at the same time throughout the month. Come enjoy local food and drink while sitting around a fire pit when the “snow” begins to fall from nearby business.
