There will an area at the entrance to the Community Hall to drop off passengers. New Samish Island Hats/Visors! You may have spotted the new Samish Island hats/visors at the 4th of July parade and these will be available again at the Arts Festival. The hats feature a great new Samish Island Dungeness crab logo and are a high quality design with a leather size adjustment strap (will not blow off in the wind/boating), nylon mesh interior (cool for the summer), and a thick cotton sweat band in the front. The visors are a nice design with “Samish Island” on the front. Both are available in royal blue and khaki; hats are $15 and visors are $10. These make great gifts for visitors!
What a
great Parade on the 4th! Thank you participants and spectators alike:
it takes both to make it fun. Special thanks to Kris and Roger Goodan
and Dan and Anne Raser for running the show at Fish Point. Thanks also
to Dave and Vange Von Allmen for once again allowing the Parade to use

Cars coming up behind them on S.I. Rd. curves may not be able to swing away in time. Drivers, please slow down to accommodate more summer walkers on our roadways. And walkers, joggers, bikers, do think safety! ISLANDER IN THE NEWS: The SVHerald of June 7th featured an Anacortes ‘07 high school graduate who claims he is what he is because he had teacher Anne Chase-Stapleton as an 8th grade teacher. Her classroom lectures became the foundation for his love of literature and dream of becoming a h.s. English teacher. “ I just remember a big thing with her was her belief that all kids are creative inside. She brought out their brilliance.” The young man says that he sees a teaching career as a way he can pass on some of the lessons he learned from Chase-Stapleton |
