Saturday, Sept. 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Village Green
— by Carol Kulminski for the Orcas Island Historical Society —
Visit the free festivities on the Village Green on Saturday, September 2, from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and bid on gift certificates and items of interest such as a bed warmer from France. Or perhaps you would go for a more practical gift (but then who says bed warmers are not practical?) such as an hour computer tech support, landscape consultation, or horse-back riding lessons.
How about a Growlette with one year of monthly refills or do you prefer special label wines? There is a range of food choices from ice cream sundaes to full dinners at our best restaurants. Stay at a Bed and Breakfast, go kayaking, sailing, or fishing or get 2 nights free mooring for your own boat. Bid on a 170 piece professional tool kit, an orchid or flower arrangement, or one of the many gift baskets.
Be the highest bidder for an oil change, a haircut, or a gym membership. One of our largest and most generous offering is from Orcas Events: a tent for 80, tables, chairs and lights for that special occasion!
There will be something for everyone and all proceeds go to support the Orcas Island Historical Museums mission to: educate, inspire, connect and involve our community and visitors in the stewardship of our unique island history. There is no charge to come, browse and explore!
