Nights In White Salmon

...never reaching the end...

Apologies to the Moody Blues (not really). Actually we ARE reaching the end. Only two more days to wrap up this year's event. Lloyd has been so busy organizing this year's Art and Wine Fusion, he'll be ready for some down time, preferably in a quiet fishing spot out of cell phone range. This week was full of Murphy's Law moments, and he's learned more than he wanted about the WA Liquor Control Board and some seemingly inane rules and regulations. By Sunday it will be in the books, with many lessons learned for the next person to chair this event. I don't think it will be anyone in this house!

That said, it will be a great family evening here in White Salmon, with artists, music (including my debut with Jamba Marimba), food and wine tasting in our downtown shops. For the cost of a souvenir glass and five tasting tickets, you can enjoy some great local wines. Take your passport into the shops, get it stamped, then drop it in the raffle box at the end of the evening to win some fine prizes. The more stamps, the more chances you have to win.

And don't miss the first ever White Salmon Slalom, a kayak street competition. You'll have to see it to believe it. I have been working on the Husum Yacht Club's costumes for weeks. Photos next week...

SO if anyone reading is in spitting distance of White Salmon, come on out and have some fun with the locals.

By the way, the very beautiful poster, by the very talented Joanna Kaufman, will be available for purchase at the event. I know I want one...
