A barbecue fundraiser will take place on Saturday, June 29 to benefit the Birch Bay Vogt Community Library.
Hosted by Friends of Birch Bay Library (FOBBL), the barbecue will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the future library site, 7968 Birch Bay Drive, and will feature games, live music and family fun.
“It’s going to become an annual event,” said FOBBL events co-chair Harieklia Bryant. “When the building starts breaking ground, we probably won’t be able to do the barbecue on that site, but we want it to be an annual event, even after the library is built.”
Attendees will be able to choose either a salmon meal for $15 or a hotdog meal for $6. Entertainment will be provided by The Replayzmentz, and the event will also feature book sales as well as some speeches.
There will be plenty of children’s activities, including an arts and crafts fair. Led by a local children’s book author, kids will be able to create their own book, make puppets and make bookmarks. There will also be a dunk tank.
Parking will be available behind the Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce and visitor information center. Those interested in volunteering as parking attendants are asked to contact Bryant at 360/483-8200. Organizers are also seeking volunteers to assist with setting up tables and chairs, posting signs, placing garbage cans and cleaning up after the event.
The event is expected to attract many residents of Birch Bay, who believe the future library will become a focal point of the community.
“This is going to be a wonderful family affair,” said Bryant.
