— from Carol Kulminski —
This is the 66th year that the Orcas Island Historical Museums has sponsored this summer celebration of the island’s history. The day’s festivities will kick off at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 1st, on the Village Green with the pie booth. Volunteers will be serving slices of home baked fruit pies. Pie a la mode is available as an option thanks to the contribution of Island Market.
There will be a beer garden (supplied by Island Hoppin’ brewery) and a hot dog stand (with equipment supplied by Kiwanis and Lions clubs).
At 1:30 p.m. the Harvey Family will open up their logging show, demonstrating the skills used to fell and dress timber on the islands.
For more information call the museum at 360-376-4849 or see orcasmuseums.org
A reminder that this celebration has always been called HISTORICAL DAYS…and hopefully still is. It is one of the unique signatures of Orcas going back, how many years, Irene?
Come on Orcas Island Chamber….yesterday’s parade was awful…no music, no horses, only a couple of floats…just people riding in old cars and a fire truck or two. To my way of thinking that is not a parade…where was the preparation? Everbody too busy on their cell phones I guess.
