I don’t have complete race results at the time of this posting, but suffice it to say the kids had a great time at Saturday’s Tesoro Half-Mile (5K/10K for older kids and adults). The old carnival line: “Everyone’s a winner” comes to mind. Kids finished six deep with ribbons in different age categories, and there was “hardware” for top three spots in each age category. Then there were lots of prizes, some from random drawings and others for distinctions such as “best shirt” and “best manners.” The race took place Saturday, June 13 at the Tesoro refinery site on March’s Point.
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.
