The gravel auction is always popular and this year we have 4 loads of gravel to be auctioned off. There are lots of opportunity for adventure such as whale watching trips, fishing charters, horseback riding lessons, day sailing in a classic wooden boat, touring in the Stanley Steamer and roundtrip seaplane flights to Seattle. The silent auction includes gift certificates from many local businesses and restaurants.
