Marta Specht says you’re gonna have fun at this:

Friday Harbor’s Centennial Honored at Elegant Edibles: Island pioneer recipes, “The Baker Boys” and a “Peep Hunt” for the little ones are just a few of the new additions to CATS’ annual Elegant Edibles on Saturday, April 11.

The gourmet bake sale and fundraiser takes place from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the San Juan Community Theatre.

The event starts off with a colorful “Peep Hunt” for children six and under. The free hunt will have children searching for those sweet marshmallow treats in the Theatre’s new garden (weather permitting).

Inside, the bake sale will feature delicious goodies just in time for Easter celebrations.  One table of treats will be prepared by The Baker Boys. More than a dozen talented island men have each given their best to Elegant Edibles, and lots of different items will be on hand.

The other new feature this year will be Island Pioneer recipes gathered from descendants of our early families.  These will be available for purchase as well as the sampling of two recipes taken from the 1901 White House Cookbook.

A child’s Easter basket will be raffled and there will be several door prizes, including a spiral cut ham from Kings, cookbook from Griffin Bay Bookstore and seashell dish towels from the Sandpebble, and cake plate from the Dominique’s.  The door prizes will be given at 11 AM, and you must be present to win.

Come see our new, lower prices. These will be maintained throughout the sale.
