It’s a great community Christmas parade, thanks to the Lions Club and the many organizations that take the time to put together floats and parade entries. Among the first entries in the parade were Town Criers … Judy Jewell from Anacortes and representatives from LaConner, Sidney and another B.C. community as well. Among happy onlookers were Holly Goss and her daughters, waving at Sanata-with-sunglasses on the Lions Club float. Also among entries were no less than four horse-drawn carriages.
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.
