From Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehab Center
Mark your calendars! The 17th Annual Bite of Orcas will be held on Sat. May 26 in its usual setting on the Village Green in Eastsound. Island restaurants and caterers will be presenting examples of their culinary wares under the big white tent for the benefit of Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. The Bite is a perfect way for locals and visitors alike to sample the delicious specialties of Orcas’ finest cooks at family-friendly prices which encourage the tasting of a wide variety of foods.
Always an important fundraising event for Wolf Hollow, and the only one held on Orcas, fundraising, and specifically the Bite, is even more critical this year due to economy-driven cuts in grants and federal funding.
The arrival of a Stellar Sea Lion this February (we were the first in Washington to successfully rehab and release this species) was also a large and unexpected expense: Stellar Sea Lions eat a huge number of fish!
Vendors wanting to participate may contact Heather Johnson at 376-2669 or Elyse Van den Bosch at 376-5238 for information.
So come to the Bite on May 26 between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. for good food, good fun and a good cause.
