There’s two great events in the works for White Center Dads this weekend; a Dad’s Night Out at the White Center Eagles on Saturday to benefit Westside Baby, and a free Father’s Day Concert on Sunday at Big Al’s Brewery. Send Dad to the Dad’s Night Out on Friday to raise money for a good cause, take him to the all ages show at Big Al’s Brewery on Sunday, or give him both for Father’s Day!

Guy’s Night Out is being held at the White Center Eagles on Father’s Day Eve, Saturday June 19. Doors open at 5:00, and the Texas Hold’Em tourney will start around 5:30.  Proceeds will benefit WestSide Baby, a local nonprofit dedicated to “provid[ing] essential items to local children in need by collecting and distributing diapers, clothing, and equipment.”  Buy-in to the poker tourney is $50.00, and includes a spaghetti dinner.  Send Dad with a few dollars for beer money: Big Al Brewery has donated a keg for the event, and pints will be going for $2, with $1 from every beer going directly to WestSide Baby.  A raffle with great prizes (yet to be announced) will run for the entire evening, and in between rounds attendees can bid on auction items like Seahawks tickets, a condo in Ocean Shores, a Half-Day Beer Tour, a gift certificate for electrical work, and snowboards. Dads who decide to bow out of the poker tourney can enjoy themselves at the pool tables or horseshoe pits.

WHAT: Dad’s Night Out to benefit WestSide Baby, featuring Texas Hold’Em, spaghetti dinner, Big Al’s Beer, raffle prizes, and auction items.

WHEN: Saturday, June 19, 5:00 pm onward.

On Sunday, treat Dad to a fun night out at Big Al Brewing, where acclaimed alternative jazz band Reptet will be putting on a free all-ages show.  Reptet has been described as “’arresting, compelling and just plain cranked-up!’ with stage shows evolving into transformative performance art pieces using costumes, story telling, dance routines and absurdist humor.”

As always at Big Al’s outdoor venue, families are welcome to bring their own food or have food delivered, and the family dog is welcome to come along to celebrate Father’s Day also.

WHAT: Free Reptet Father’s Day Concert

WHEN: Father’s Day, Sunday, June 20, from 4 to 7 pm.
