Canes at Causland
Published December 18, 2005 / by Steve Berentson
Christmas carolers young and old gathered Saturday night at Causland Park for an old-fashioned sing-along hosted by the Salvation Army Anacortes Corps. In addition to live music, Santa (Jim Bergeson) and an elf (Sonja Erlandson) arrived by firetruck to distribute small gifts to children … and candy canes to one and all. See more photos in Activities section under “SA singalong.”
About Steve Berentson
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.
