Weekend plans have you feeling spaced out? Beam over to Yelm's first UFO Fest

http://www.theolympian.com/news/local/article163712823.html

The first Yelm UFO Fest is set to launch this weekend, and organizers are preparing to welcome visitors from beyond. Or at least beyond Yelm.

The festival, which is free to the public, will feature more than 15 musical performances, a beer garden with a specially bottled Alien Pale Ale brewed by Olympia's Fish Brewing Company, and "out of this world" food vendors, according to Cameron Jayne, director of arts at Yelm's Triad Arts Theater, one of the organizations that organized the festival.

"It's gonna be like Woodstock," Jayne said. "This is kinda like a Yelmstock."

The UFO Fest runs Friday through Sunday in a field next to Yelm Cinemas at Prairie Park. Seating is festival-style, so if you plan to enjoy the musical acts and other performers, organizers recommend bringing a blanket or chair.
