Fathoms O’ Fun, Port Orchard’s annual festival o’ fun, is under way, with the opening of the Carnival on the Waterfront Thursday in downtown PO. Saturday is jam packed with activities, including the traditional snake race, a 5K run, a street fair and the chamber’s new “Street Scramble,” a fast-paced urban treasure hunt. At 6 p.m. Saturday is the event organizers refer to as “the granddaddy of Kitsap County parades,’ starting at 6 p.m. in downtown.
I stopped by Vintage to Vogue consignment store in PO today and
got a preview of a hot act you’ll see if you watch the parade.
Following on their award-winning performance with snow shovels last
year, staff and volunteers from V-2-V, ranging in age from 9 to 75,
will perform in an umbrella drill team. Last year, they won the
coveted Grand Sweepstakes prize.
“We were just trying to beat the librarians,” said Suanne
Martin-Smith.
Apparently those PO librarians really know how to bring it, with
their book cart drill team.
This from the town that brings you the annual Seagull Calling
Festival.
I love my beat.
