Warmer weather and warmer thoughts
By R. 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. There you will d
find all the entry dates and de- gar eners will
tails you will need to compete in '."=='" - u u*'os*"n"
an
the fair.
Of course the youth involved n.o House

proudly displaying their still life
and animals. What fun it is to --" -catalyst Park's
watch the horse competitions at
the arena or walk through the Food Bank and

questions about their dogs and
exhibits.
Of course you can expect many Garden.
area vendors, selling crafts, food
and drinks. The Rodeo will be having performances July 29 and 30. The
exciting events feature professional COVboys and cowgirls from five west-
ern states and Canada.
Please visit building 22 and see the displays of area gardeners show-
ing offtheir vegetables, flowers, berries and more. You can watch cooking
demonstrations using local shellfish or just see the variety of shellfish
that is what makes Mason County unique. Our local granges will have
their traditional displays, and we will have many educational opportuni-
ties and demonstrations. Learn about weeds, water quality, small farms,
Farmer's Markets and natural resources. Stop by and talk with a Master
Gardener about your personal garden.
The week before the fair, Master Gardeners and local community gar-
deners will be hosting an open house at Catalyst Park's Food Bank and
Community Garden. Tour the garden and take "nibbles" from the won-
derful variety of plants growing there. Learn how this garden has sprung
up from blackberry brambles to the wonderful place it has become and
how to get involved yourself. Mark your calendars from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
on July 22 for Catalyst Park, which is located at the corner of 8th and
Harvard streets in the Angleside neighborhood.
I look forward to meeting you at one of our local events this month.
Applications for Master Gardener training will be available at both these
events, or can be found on our website at http://mason.wsu.edu

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

Community Club's 2012
calendar, please send them

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.
