Port Orchard will be strutting its stuff for the 21st annual
Port
Orchard Party, from 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday at Towne Square Mall,
1700 Mile Hill Drive in Port Orchard.
Twenty Kitsap Restaurants will show their style. There will be live
music on two levels, entertainment, a silent auction, dancing and
no-host bars. “Put on your party clothes and come!” implore
organizers.
This year’s theme is “All Aboard – Don’t Miss the Boat!” (I’m sure
that will be a hit with the
Port Orchard couple who were on the stranded cruise ship.)
The event, hosted by Fathoms
O’ Fun, is a fundraiser for that organization and other local
causes. In 2009, POP raised $9,800, which was split between
Fathoms, responsible for Port Orchard’s summer festival by the same
name, and Boys and Girls Clubs of South Kitsap. In addition, South
Kitsap Helpline received $1,000 in donations plus food.
This year’s recipients are South Kitsap Fathoms O’ Fun Festival,
Soroptimist International of Port Orchard Foundation and South
Kitsap Helpline Food Bank.
Buy tickets for $30 each ($35 at the door) through PayPal on the
Fathoms website, or buy them from Columbia Bank, Alfred Interwest
Insurance, MoonDogs, Too, Peninsula Credit Union, Walk N’ Comfort
Shoes, Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce, Sidney Gallery, Kitsap
Bank main branch and Bethel Avenue branch, and the Lighthouse
Restaurant.
