Around the island…

Proud grandma Nancy DeVaux says, "A baby girl was born Sunday to Joni (Cameron) and Alex Wenger - both FHHS 1996 grads. Brothers Owen and Elijah welcome sister Claire, at home in Blaine."

What’s happening….

• This year’s Wags to Riches fundraiser for the Animal Shelter is this Saturday…and they still have a few tickets left. This one is fun – I’ve gone the last few years & I know you’ll have a good time…help make it a sellout! Here’s the details.

• Passing: So sad to hear that Wilma Munsey passed away last week…our hearts are with you, Tom. She’s much missed….

Last day of camp at Blazing Tree Ranch....

• Courtney Oldwyn sent along a photo of the kids at their last day of horse camp – they had a great time! She says she’d like to send a big thank you shout out to all the local kids that came to camp this summer! She also mentioned: “We do have a couple of spots open the week of Aug 1-5 and the 8-12. Our last week is going to be the 15-19th and then we’ll start up again next summer.”

• Last weekend’s Encampment at British Camp was fun, and you’ll get a pretty good idea from Cyndi Brast’s portfolio of photos from the weekend.

It was a reminder of day-to-day life in the 1800s at British Camp last weekend....photo by Cyndi Brast.

• If last week’s Republican get-together at the Red Barn was a hit, does that mean the Dems need to find a Blue Barn for theirs?

It was nice to have all the elected folks here, for that (the GOP hosted candidate for governor Rob McKenna, who is presently attorney general) and for the hospital ground breaking, which included Maria Cantwell & Rick Larsen. We’re a small place, and it’s nice when we’re on their radar as a place to check in….
