A BarnFest celebration will be held on Saturday, July 26 from 2 to 6 p.m., at the 100-year-old Nordstrom Barn in Crow Valley, 285 Nordstrom Lane. The event will benefit restoration of the Nordstrom Barn and preservation of the Orcas Island Historical Museum log cabins.

Tickets are $20 per person and include food, drink, and entertainment. Children under 12 are free.

Live music will be provided by our own Olga Symphony and the Shed Boys, a Lopez Island group. An auction will offer paintings of this beautiful old barn by Frank Loudin and David Ridgway.

The public is invited to take in the lovely views of Turtleback Mountain from this historic homestead set among pear trees, and tour the property with other island neighbors. Bilbo’s Festivo will prepare the meal. Tickets may be purchased at the Museum, the Orcas Library, and Smith and Speed Mercantile.

Call 376-4849 to make a reservation. All proceeds will benefit restoration of the barn and the six homestead cabins that comprise the museum.
