This holiday’s community activities included games, food and fun at Causland Memorial Park. Among those pictured here are visiting town criers, Pastor Terry Kyllo and Mayor Dean Maxwell and a queen from the parade. The final shot is of a group of young patriots including sets of twins and triplets. The town criers are (left) Bev and Jerry Praver of Cambria, CA; (right front) Ray Parker or Victoria, B.C. and Patrick Allwood (right back).
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
