Paddle to Quinault

July 25, 2013

The Northwest tribes are getting ready to meet in Quinault this year for their annual Paddle event.  On Tuesday, several canoes were spotted on Hollywood Beach in Port Angeles.  On Sunday they will be expected to start landing in LaPush where their host tribe will be the Quileutes.  It is a very exciting time for all of us on the Peninsula to be a part of this annual event.

Rainfest Weekend in the Land of Twilight

Saturday, April 16, 2011

It is raining in Forks today, so that must mean that our annual Rainfest celebration is in full swing. There will be an umbrella parade at noon and tonight at 6:30 PM there is program scheduled on the topic of a Russian shipwreck from many years ago.

We have a group of Fiber Artists taking classes this weekend. They spent the day in Neah Bay, yesterday looking at artifacts at the Makah Cultural Center and helping the staff identify some tools that would have been used in weaving. They are being hosted by the Quilleute Tribe tomorrow. This group of Fiber Artists have been spending the evenings taking in the Twilight movie saga in our common area.

There are also quilt making classes this weekend and a quilt show.
