Children's entertainers Bobs and Lolo will return to Port Moody for the 24th annual Fingerling Festival this weekend.
The perky singers will be part of the Port Moody Ecological Society's celebration on Saturday to help release thousands of young chum salmon from the Noons Creek hatchery and into the Pacific Ocean. The May 2 exhibition runs 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Port Moody recreation complex (300 Ioco Rd.). Visit noonscreek.org.

They are Alex Roque, Benjamin Louie, Darcy Jago, Douglas Hood, Eran Roubini, Jacob Helmhold, James Putnam, Jesika Kula, June Park, Koreen Garofalo, Rhea Hayes and Steve Kazemir.
