Kids R Best Fest I

We’re talking puppies, food, music, games, paint, military vehicles, inflatables … and more! It was a great Saturday for hundreds of kids at Storvik Park, where once again many organizations volunteered to make their day special with the Kids R Best Festival. Pictured here are kids doing their thing with paints at the dinosaur farm in the center of activities. Seven-year-old Christian Ackley grins with the excitement of receiving free books from Skip Blatter and the Anacortes Noon Kiwanis Club. DARE office J. Wilson fingerprints Haley Rodriguez as mom looks on, and Glen “Alex” Alexander, Education Coordinator at Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, gathers volunteers to help with a song about eelgrass. It’s an awesome tribute to the young people of Anacortes. Accolades are in order for those who make this great event happen.
