Sidewalk Talk ... Asked during the Seafair airshow and hydroplane race finale on Sunday, Aug. 5: <I>What is your favorite thing about Seafair?</I>

PEGGY PEMBROKE, Mercer Island

"It's the perennial picnic challenge. What do I make this year? This year was Asian Chicken Cabbage Salad. It was gone within five minutes."


SOL ALHADEFF, Central Area :

"The sounds of Seafair."


JOEY RASMUSSON, Wenatchee:

"The planes. Especially the Patriots. They did a barrel-role 360. That was cool."


JEF JAISUN, Seattle:

"The nostalgia. This is what you used to do with your dad. It was the only game in town. I was 12 riding my bike down to the [hydroplane] pits. Bill Muncie, Miro Slovic, Jack Ragis, those guys were like rock stars."


RUSTY WILLIAMS, Seattle

"As a lifelong Seattleite, I enjoy preserving the long time tradition of Seattle's premier summertime celebration: Coming down the night before, drinking my @$$ off, and sleeping through the races."
