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

"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-

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
