Big Head Todd and the Monsters play to a big crowd at Pavillion Park Saturday. The Boulder, Colo., band was the headline event of Friends of Pavillion Park’s Summer Concert Series, and the crowd started gathering hours before the music began to picnic and reserve a spot near the stage. FOPP representatives said inquiries about the concert came in from as far away as Cali- fornia and Milwaukee. Truth and Salvage Co. opened the show. Big Head Todd was the second of three concerts this summer at the park. The Spokane Symphony will close the series with its annual Lud Kramer Memorial Concert Sept. 4. A little taste of Italy

A glimpse of Italian culture is experienced by market-goers last weekend during the Italian Festival at the Liberty Lake Farmers Market. Members of the American-Italian Club of Spokane were on hand to share conversation and food, which included a pesto- making demonstration. Other vendors provided an Italian twist to their products, such as aNeMonE, which offered green, red and white poppies.
