Dancin’ in the rain
Published June 4, 2012 / by Steve Berentson
These ladies were not actually dancing in the rain Sunday at the Anacortes Waterfront Festival, but the event did start out Saturday morning with some of “Northwest sunshine” of the damp variety, so people could relate to the concept of an umbrella. Given today’s weather, Chamber event organizers have to be pleased to have had as much sunshine as we did over the weekend. Attendance at the annual festival was strong.
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.
