A nonprofit is helping connect military veterans with outdoor adventure during a two-day salmon fishing and crab derby in Blaine Harbor on Saturday, September 6 and Sunday, September 7.
The nonprofit, Warrior Service, will bring both local and out of state veterans to the border town waters for the event. On the first day, veterans will arrive in downtown Blaine, where they will then be shuttled to Blaine Harbor to fish from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Entertainment will start at 4 p.m., followed by a 4:30 p.m. barbecue and free raffle.
Veterans will be shuttled to crabbing boats the next morning and will crab until noon. The weekend will conclude with a salmon and crab dinner 2-5 p.m. Sunday at American Legion Post 86, 4580 Legion Drive in Birch Bay. The ending celebration will have live music and a chainsaw carving raffle.
