If you could ask Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling one question, what would it be? Think about it.

And if you're thinking, “There's no way Rowling could ever answer my inquiry when I'm sitting in plain, old muggle filled Spokane, Washington,” you're wrong. Auntie's Bookstore is making magic happen!

On Tuesday, October 16th, Auntie's will host a live webcast of J.K. Rowling's interview with Ann Patchett. Rowling will be talking about her new book for adults, The Casual Vacancy. It will be Rowling's only U.S. appearance.

During the interview, Rowling will be answering questions submitted by fans. Now, hold your hippogriffs, because there is a catch. You have to submit your question sooner rather than later and hope in the name of Merlin that Rowling chooses your question.

Learning how to live a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle has never been more easy.  This weekend, more than three dozen vendors will be on hand at the Natural Living Show to help you make better choices for your body, environment and our community.

The show will feature local cheese-makers and handmade soaps. And, if you ever wanted to have your own eggs fresh from your backyard there will be a workshop on urban chickens too.

Here are all the details:

Fall is in the air and that means it's time for The Great Pumpkin Race in the Cannon Hill Neighborhood. The annual event scheduled for October 27th,  encourages participants to find creative ways to make their pumpkins move the fastest.  Engineering students from Gonzaga University will be on hand to help.  If you want to get a head start on the race, art students from GU will help kids paint their pumpkins on October 20th at River Park Square.

All money raised from the event will go directly to Meals on Wheels.
