Individuals had a chance to learn about all kinds of shellfish during ShellFest, held Saturday at Potlatch State Park. ShellFest educates, entertains at Potlatch By JANE METZGER Special to the Journal The first ShellFest, hosted by Washington State Parks was held in Potlatch on Saturday and the heat was no setback to family fun. The saltwater shoreline of Pot- latch State Park served as a sunny venue for the event that featured low-tide walking tours, marine touch tanks, ecology information booths, children's crafts, live maritime mu- sic and food. The event was part of Gov. Christine Gregoire's Washing- ton Shellfish Initiative to restore and protect shellfish beds in Puget Sound. The importance of maintaining Washington's coastal environment and how it has shaped its history and Culture was the theme for ShellFest See ShellFest on page B-5 An intern of Skokomish tribe and her two young helpers demonstrate the effects of contaminated water running into rivers and streams on this small-scale model. Thursday, Aug. 91 "was in town at the store the other day and the person ahead of me the counter said, "I can't be- lieve it's already Aug. 1." And the clerk replied, "Did we have a summer and I missed it?" Well, I'm pretty sure we've had some summer because my garden has been growing well. I have one prob= lem however -- my broccoli grows just great then bolts. Does anyone have a way to keep the broccoli from bolting? The Harstine Community Hall ten- tennial celebration is fast approach- ing and the Historical Preservation Committee is hard at work making plans. They are in need of histori- eal photos of people and events at. the hall over the years. If anyone should have any to loan or donate for • scanning into the records, please con- tact Sandy Murphy at 427=1327. The committee is confi- By MIKE dent there are some CALLAGHAN great, historical photos out there in albums, boxes and drawers so please share them. Remember to attend the monthly community club meeting on Fri- day. Members are still needed and the yearly fee is only $15. The doors open at 6 p.m. by some very friendly people. This is a great way to meet islanders and have some fun. The Children's Carnival is the next big event. The carnival will be Sat- urday and it will run from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. In last week's column the com- mittee was asking for help and for volunteers -- they still need help and volunteers. I hope you had time to think about that and have decided to donate some of your time. This will be Jennifer's first time in charge, so if you have ideas or help she would like you to call her at 426-1861.One of the main ideas of the carnival is that the games are set up such that every child wins something no matter their skill level. From 10 a.m.-noon during the week of Aug. 13-17, the Bridge Com- munity Church will be holding Vaca- tion Bible School. All local children from ages 5-12 years old are invited. The theme is "Knowing,Christ." The church has been working hard to develop programs for the community and this is another great example. If you have any questions call Pastor Howard Spear at 426-5221. A bunch of you attended the re- cent Senior Lunch so you probably know the next menu, but for those' that didn't, here it is. Looks like they are planning on hot weather to continue as the main menu item will be a cool salad trio of chicken or fruit or pasta along with some croissants and brownies. So, just before noon on Aug. 22. be at the community hall and bring $3 for a donation. The Women's Club enjoyed a love- ly sunny noon time lunch on Pat LaClair's deck overlooking Picketing Passage. She had several tables set with lavender nosegays at each place setting and bouquets of colorful flow- ers at every table. The hostesses pro- viding dessert at the brown bag lunch affair were Billie Fish, Judy Graft and Bobbie Conley. Dianne Dawley is already think- ing about the November Holiday House and is asking vendors who are interested to get in touch with her now to fill out paperwork and secure a spot. Patti announced the nominees for new officers for the com- ing year. Kayce Benson and Della Rogers will share the office of presi- dent. Judy Graft will be taking the office of vice president and Joye Rob- inson as secretary. All voted in favor of the new officers and the motion was passed. Kathy Doherty is willing to take charge of being treasurer See Harstine on page B-7 2012 - Shelton-Mason County Journa! - Page B-1
