JEANNE REHWALDT It's finally July and with the warmer weather our thoughts turn to the fair. "Make Tracks to the Fair" is the theme for this year's Mason Area Fair. It will be happening at the fairgrounds at the Port of Shelton on July 29, 30 and 31. It's time to begin looking over all your vegetables and flowers to decide what will be at its peak the end of July. Your entry will earn a ribbon and could qualify for a special award. A special division in the agriculture department is pottable edibles. Bring your potted edible plants and compete for prizes. Local shellfish growers are encouraged to enter some examples of what you are growing in the local bays and water- ways in the aquaculture division of the agriculture department. I am challenging everyone to enter at least one exhibit into an The week open class at the fair. You can choose from a variety of open before the class areas including agriculture, aquaculture, baking, ceramics, fair, Master crafts, fine arts, floral, food pres- ervation, hobbies, literary arts, needlecraft, photography and Gardeners and wine-making among others. For a copy of this year's Exhibitor's local community Guide, please go to www.Mason- CountyFair.org.

Tara Rigby with the Pio- neer Community Food Bank lets us know that the sum- mer food drive launched yesterday, July 8 and runs through July 20. Their next distribution night will be Thursday, July 21. They will be open from 4:30 until 6 p.m. in the Pioneer Mid- dle School cafeteria. Tara is looking for volun- teers to help with the July distribution night. They will need to get the food from the storage unit at 3 p.m. to be set-up at the school by 4:30 p.m. Three to four people will be ade- quate. They will need eight to 10 people to help dur- ing the distribution time and load leftover food into the truck. Finally, they will need three to four people to unload the food at the stor- age unit. This whole pro- cess takes less than four hours. Tara wants you to know that if you can help the entire time that is great, but if you are only available for part of the time that is fine too. Pioneer Community Food Bank will be closed for the month of August and reopen in September, with a distribution night some- time during the third week of the month. Last call for entries in the 2012 HICC calendar picture contest. If you have pictures you would like to submit for inclusion in the Community Club's 2012 calendar, please send them to Bill Burrows (burrows@ uw.edu). Entry deadline is Friday, July 15. Pops at the Pointe is com- ing up soon. If you haven't been to this great family event, try to get there this year. The family concert will be held on Monday, July 18, at Harstine Pointe's North Beach and will feature the Shelton High School Jazz Band and Stan Yantis and the Backwoods Windjam- mers. People should bring their beach chairs. Hot dogs, sodas, chips and ice cream cones will be on sale and will make for a great traditional picnic dinner. Food sales will begin at 5:30 p.m. and the concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. This is a family event with entertain- ment for children included. I got this message from Island Eyes and just want- ed to forward it along. Sher- iff Casey Salisbury has an- nounced his intention to dedicate the Sheriffs Head- quarters at 10 a.m. on Sat- urday July 16, with an open house of the building to fol- low until 3 p.m. The build- ing, located at 322 North Pine in Shelton, will be ded- icated as "The Deputy Rick Glass Public Safety Build- ing" in honor of Deputy Richard D. Glass who was killed in the line of duty on March 9, 1985. Deputy Glass died when his patrol vehicle left the roadway and struck a tree during a pursuit of a fleeing vehicle in the Elfendahl Pass area of Mason County. Deputy Glass remains a fond mere- ory to all of the SherifFs staff that served with him. It has been great weath- er for the Island Farmer's Market. Here are a couple more vendors you will find there: Don and Betty Jean Wagoner. You can find them at fuchsialand.com. That e- mail address should give you the idea that they sell fuchsias at the market and have been doing so for the past three years. They also have vegetables, perennials and other plants. They are friendly and knowledge- able, so if you have any gardening questions, they might have the answer. You will also find Asbe Weatherly and Austin Sprevell there selling farm- fresh eggs that are grown here on the island. Ashe also crochets beautiful hats and scarves to keep you warm. She said that the summer time is the best time to buy your cold- weather gear because when it does turn cold, the prices on these items go up. They are there most Satur- days. Austin, age 11, is the head salesman and he is very skilled at his task.
