We are stilling looking for vendors who want a booth during our 4th of July festivities. The booth price has been reduced to $35, and any nonprofits are welcome to set up at no cost. We just need everyone to fill out their booth application form and get them back to us by June 27. To get an application, contact the museum office. We will be holding our Antique Auction a during our 4th of July celebrations on the Village Green.

Do you have any genuine antiques or auction worthy items that you would like to donate? Scour your attics, garages, and storage units for treasures that you may not need or want anymore, but will likely put a smile on someone else’s face. If you are a business owner and would like to show your support for the museum you can also donate.

The auction, while fun and exciting for the community, is also a major fundraiser for the Museums, helping to sustain our extensive collection and ensure that we can upkeep preservation, research, education, building and grounds maintenance, and our general operations (including lights, heating, water, insurance and so much more). This auction raised more than $5,000 dollars for the Museums last year.

For more info call 376-4849 or email info@orcasmuseum.org. Come join us for fun, food, old time logging events and more.

As always thank you so much for your continuing support of July Celebration on the Green.
