We need your help this weekend. It is going to be nip and tuck to meet our schedule. While the bridge is assembled we will need to have a good turnout on Friday and Saturday to stay on schedule for the September 28th ribbon cutting ceremony with the Mayor.

This year we've been averaging sixteen volunteers. Last session there were only four of us. Jenny Sandbo and the Skagit Valley Food Coop provided an amazing lunch for us. It took a lot of Starbucks Coffee to get us moving afterwards. All joking aside, we need to see more of you this weekend.

As for the ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, September 28th at 3:00 pm we hope you'll join us. After the ribbon cutting we will have an all ages gathering downtown. It will start at 6:00 pm and last about two hours. It will be at The Front Gallery. There will be appetizers and the owner of North Sounding Brewing, Curt Ahrens, will be there with three of their amazing beers. We hope other businesses will want to be involved.

The venue and adult beverages are being donated.

So since we have so much to get done we hope to see many of you this weekend. On Friday we start at 9:00 am, and on Saturday at 10:00 am. Due to a generous donation by Skagit Runners we’ll have lunch both days.
