Patch Picks: Weekend Planner Encore

Enumclaw Patch's  typically lists our top five picks for activities to hit and new hot spots to explore on any given weekend, including this one.

Well, five just couldn't quite cut it for us this weekend. Perhaps it's because it'll be May on Sunday, but we needed a second list to help us round out all the exciting things that illustrate the giving spirit of local residents in the next two days.
