Whale Fest is an annual event that starts the middle of April and runs through first week of May. The schedule is printed in the local paper, and can also be found on-line at the Whale Fest website.
Events this year included events at the local grade school with a blow-up whale, an art show at the local book store, poems read by fishermen, museum talks and displays, presentations at the wildlife refuge center, hikes and whale watching, a free movie series at the university, and a fundraising dinner at the convention center.
Lori helped sell Whale Fest t-shirts and hoodies at a booth at the children's fair. It was also really fun to be in the kitchen at the fundraising dinner with our resident french chef and his wife who catered the event.

The table set up- bread sticks served in mason jars along with salmon spread and clam spread. The decorations were driftwood with shells and sea glass.
