Wow, it’s a busy weekend on Whidbey!
Friday is early release day. Come to the Elementary School and learn about astronomy! This free program (open to those outside the district) will start at 1pm at the Multi-purpose Room and is given by the Island County Astronomical Society!
Friday night is an art opening at the Raven Rocks Gallery at Greenbank Farm, 5-7pm, for photographer Tom Trimbath. He’ll display works from “12 Months at Deception Pass.”
On Saturday, look for bike riders for the Tour de Whidbey. Road bikes will roam our beautiful island, participating in the fundraiser which benefits Whidbey General Hospital. The family ride starts at Coupeville Elementary and is a gentle, 10-miles. Other mileage options are available starting from Greenbank Farm, including one of the most challenging century rides in the state.
The Morris Men from Seattle & Vancouver will be downtown at 11am on Front Street performing their dances.
Also, it’s the Kite Festival at Fort Casey on Saturday and Sunday. Free! Free parking. Free family fun.
The Open Art Studio Tour will also be taking place Saturday and Sunday. Tour artists in their studios. I’m telling you–this is very cool. We have some very talented people on Whidbey!
You’ll also see folks on motorcycles driving on their way to the Oysterrun in Anacortes.
Keep a heads up as it sounds like lots of folks driving around this weekend. If you’re in Coupeville, walk to the Saturday Farmer’s Market from Krueger Commons and tour art studios within walking distance. They’ll have free apples from the Whidbey Apple Exchange Event. Folks can enter apple items at the October 3rd Farmer’s Market.
