Congratulations to Chris Hess who was married at the Riverbend Stage last Saturday! The previous evening saw a number of musicians gather at the marina, providing local residents with music to fill the evening hours. A very happy 90th birthday to Ken and Shirley Park, who celebrated at the downtown pavilion with family and friends from both on and off the island! In deference to the fire ban at the time, it was decided that all 90 candles on the cake would not be lit at once.
As summer continues, there is still lots going on over the next few weeks. Author Joan Marie Galat will be at the Billings Public Library at 4pm on Sunday, August 16, giving a talk on the night skies. Contact Sharon Jackson for more information.
The market continues every Wednesday from 10am-3pm at the downtown pavilion. Check out the wares of local artisans, and pick up some delicious baked goods as a treat. You deserve it!
