Mr. San Juan – it’s Saturday night!
Posted April 23, 2009 at 3:25 pm by Ian Byington
Here’s the writeup from the PTA at the elementary school:
The Friday Harbor Elementary School PTA is putting the “fun” back in fundraising with a new twist on an old idea. Six of our island’s finest fathers will compete for the title of Mr. San Juan Island. The pageant is Saturday, April 25th in the Pavillion Room at Roche Harbor. The event isn’t about beauty, brains or talent (although they’ll be exhibiting all three at the pageant), but how much money each candidate raises.
With federal and state funding dwindling, Friday Harbor Elementary School needs our support, now more than ever!
Proceeds from the event benefit the FHES PTA and will go towards important programs such as PIP and music enrichment, as well as help buy school supplies. The FHES PTA also contributes toward popular elementary school competitions, such as the Math Olympiad and the GeoBee. Mr. San Juan Island is a great way for ALL adults on our island to make a difference in a child’s education.
Enjoy the edible delights from Roche Harbor’s own Chef Bill Shaw, while emcee Boo Boo Keane introduces you to Stacey Brown, John Sable, Marc Vermeire, Paul Hopkins, Bobby Tangney, and Chad Foley. Each dollar you spend on the candidate equals a “vote;” and these men are ready to earn your money! The evening will entail fashion, talent and trivia segments. The candidate that raises the most money will be crowned Mr. San Juan Island at the end of the evening. Along with the show, you’ll have an opportunity to bid on some great adventures–like a roundtrip flight to Orcas for a guided tour on Turtleback Mountain, complete with a Market Chef picnic lunch. Doors open at 6:30pm and the show begins at 7:00pm.
A limited number of tickets are available and are $25 per person (21 years and older). They can be purchased at Market Chef, Griffin Bay Bookstore, or San Juan Island Fitness, or by calling Tanja Williamson at 378.6004 or Kerry Andrews at 378.1007.
