MOSES LAKE — Those who can’t wait for the Grant County Fair can get their Space Burger fix next weekend, according to an announcement from the Lioness Club of Moses Lake.
The iconic Grant County sandwiches will be available at the Grant County Fairgrounds on March 13-15, according to the announcement. There is no admission fee to get into the fairgrounds that weekend.
Nearly 5,000 Space Burgers were sold last March, according to the Lioness Club’s social media. Space Burgers are made with seasoned ground beef, lettuce and a special sauce, in a toasted bread shell that resembles a flying saucer.
The purchase of Space Burgers supports local non-profits and organizations, the Lioness Club wrote. Every dollar helps local organizations in our community. Since 1964, the Lioness Lions Club of Moses Lake has given back over $1 million to the Moses Lake Community.
Volunteers are needed to help operate the booth. To contact the Lioness Lions Club of Moses Lake, write to P.O. Box 21, Moses Lake, Washington 98837 or contact them on the Lioness Club of Moses Lake or the Space Burgers social media.

‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ opens Friday in Quincy
QUINCY — The Biblical story of Joseph will come to life in song this weekend, as Quincy Valley Allied Arts opens “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” Friday. “(The writers) originally wrote it for a kids’ school,” Director Brian Higgins said. “You have a bunch of different genres of music. There’s a country-western song in the show. There’s a sad song. There’s a little bit of early rap elements. It’s kind of a tour through different musical genres to keep kids interested.” “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” follows a story familiar to many from the Bible. The patriarch Jacob has 12 sons, but his clear favorite is Joseph, the second-youngest, who has dreams that his destiny is to rule over his brothers. Naturally, the other 11 are not huge fans of this idea, and when Jacob gives Joseph a fancy coat of many colors, that proves too much for them and they sell him into slavery.
Youth Dynamics to mark 30th anniversary
MOSES LAKE — Youth Dynamics will hold a three-day party this week to mark 30 years of Christian outreach. “I was talking to the president of Youth Dynamics, and I (said), ‘I’d really like to do a celebration weekend,’” said Moses Lake Youth Dynamics Director Sean Sallis. “It’s not a fundraiser; we’re not going to have an auctioneer here selling items or anything like that.” The event will celebrate four pillars of Youth Dynamics’ ministry over the years.
Farm fun
Palmer’s Adventure Farm features friendly animals, play equipment and apple artillery
MOSES LAKE — There’s a whole lot to do at Palmer’s Adventure Farm, about five miles east of Moses Lake. We have a train for the kids to go on,” said Shane Palmer, who owns Palmer’s Adventure Farm with his brother Kyle Palmer and their wives Vanessa and Janelle. “We added animals this spring. We’ve got a mini-Highland cow. We’ve got goats and bunnies and donkeys, and they can feed the animals. We just put in two jump pads for the kids. They’re air pillows inflated with a big blower and a fan, and the kids jump on it like a trampoline and have a blast. We’ve got a mega-slide (and) a double barrel slide into a corn pit. It’s like a sandbox, but it’s full of corn and the kids play in it.” Palmer’s Adventure Farm started out four years ago as Strawbelly’s Straw Maze on Wheeler Road, Shane said.
