A group of fifth graders from Bellingham toured the Alaska Packers Association Museum, 9261 Semiahmoo Parkway, on February 22. The museum, located in the old cannery building, pays tribute to the Blaine area’s rich fishing history through artifacts and old photographs. Drayton Harbor Maritime, which operates the Plover ferry, oversees the museum. The museum is currently open 1-5 p.m. Friday through Sunday, though it will open at 9 a.m. during Wings Over Water March 15-17. Student tours can be made by appointment. “It was a blast having them visit,” said Bill Brooks, museum director.
