What kind of meal do you get when you invite chef Kim Bast to get creative?
What kind of fundraising event do you get when you are asked to leave your wallets at home?
You get the 2010 Big Event, Lopez Island Historical Society’s annual fundraiser!
The summer's most fabulous meal, fine wine and incredible desserts—courtesy of chef Kim Bast, her talented crew, and Lopez Island's farmers. Plus: scintillating live music, memorable entertainment, and lots of fascinating island history.
Our generous supporters told us, “No auction this year! Please!” And we listened!
Yes, this is our annual fundraiser.
Ticket price? You decide! Could be $10, could be $10,000. Could be something in between. Your choice. Our hope is that this new format will raise funds critically needed to operate the Lopez Museum. (Note: any amount greater than $30 per ticket is tax deductible.)
Sponsors: Islanders Insurance, Lopez Sand & Gravel, Lopez Village Market, Richardson Fuel, Spencer's Landing Marina, Duane & Audrey Bordvick, Karen Rousseau, Raiti Waerness, Mike Halperin & Jodi Green.
We are very excited to announce our new book, Images of America: Lopez Island, by Susan Ferguson and the Lopez Island Historical Society.
The book features 200 of the best images of Lopez from our collection, and stories of Native islanders, early settlers, farmers, fishers, quilters, shopkeepers, schools, kids, families, and all your favorite island places.
This year's exhibit features great photos and artifacts that show your favorite island places and characters.
The Lopez Island Historical Society is part of a new website featuring historical societies in the San Juan Islands. Historic San Juans is the place to go for information on upcoming events put on by the Lopez Island Historical Society, the Orcas Island Historical Museum, and the San Juan Historical Museum. The website also features galleries of historical photographs from the Museums' collections.
The Lopez Island Historical Society Museum is located in the heart of Lopez Village on Weeks Road, across from Islander's Bank.
The museum is open noon to 4:00pm, Wednesday through Sunday, from May through September.
We are also open year-round for research projects by appointment. Call 360.468.2049 or email us at lopezmuseum@rockisland.com
