I am writing to say a whole hearted “Thank You” to the Chamber of Commerce, and the Orcas Island Historical Museum for sponsoring and putting on a wonderful old fashioned day on the green July 4th.

It was reminiscent of days gone by. So many people over the years have asked “What happened to our old-fashioned 4th of July.” It has sort of turned into a giant market on the Saturday. This year’s July 4th revisited the old fashioned family fun.

The logging show was really great. All for the benefit and enjoyment of our community. Rich Harvey Logging LLC, and the Harvey Family shouldered all the expense and work setting up and performing for the show. If you see the Harveys, please give them some “good job” praise.  They showed us  selfless giving and a wonderful logging show event.  It was a great day for the island.

Hoping this can once again become an annual fun day tradition.
