Great Peninsula Future Festival is this weekend
July 29th, 2008 by cdunaganThe Great Peninsula Future Festival, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in Port Gamble, appears to offer an interesting mix of environmentally oriented speakers and a wide range of entertainment.
It is the first festival of its kind on the Kitsap Peninsula, and organizers hope to continue it next year.
My story in Friday’s Kitsap Sun will give you an overview. For details, view the entire program on the festival’s Web site.
By the way, if you’re wondering about the name. There really is no Kitsap Peninsula; this is just what a lot of us call it because it contains Kitsap County, named for Chief Kitsap. The real name of the peninsula, according to state and federal records, is The Great Peninsula. I’ve looked at the early charts and still haven’t figured out if the name was given by Capt. George Vancouver, one of the first explorers to visit the Puget Sound area; or Lt. Charles Wilkes, who came later; or somebody else.
