It Looks Like an Oak Harbor Kind of Week

And there is lots happening...............



Let's start with Holland Happening - the 40th Anniversary

• ART walk - 4 blocks along Pioneer Way will have windows displaying student art. It's fabulous and the best part is that it gets people walking in the downtown area. There was a reception tonight at 5:30 at Angelos.



• The carnival came to town and opens tomorrow!



• The First Reformed Dutch Dinner is Friday at 5:00 to 7:00.



• The Grand Parade is at 11 on Saturday morning - rain or shine, but I predict 56 degrees and partly cloudy. The Grand Marshals will be some of the founding members of the first Holland Happening celebration forty years ago.



• Pioneer will have a street fair and the wooden shoe carving demonstration



• Friday at 3:30 pm the new beach boardwalk will officially open with all of the usual dignitaries present.



• The Bay Leaf will have several demonstrations over the weekend, including a Reisling tasting at the Oak Harbor store on Friday.

Oh shoot! There are too many things to mention. Check the paper or the Holland Happening web site for all of the events.

In the early hours of Thursday, our OHHS culinary team will be heading towards further competition and more recognition. This is a wonderful group of talented kids and dedicated teacher and coaches. We wish them well.

Last night Jim Lynch, the author of The Highest Tide delighted the crowd at Oak Harbor Yacht Club. "He was interesting and humorous!"
