2009 Exhibit & Events

The Museum's Big Event

Tickets are now available for this summer's BIG EVENT on July 25: a Celebration of Lopez Island's bounty.

Fabulous food! Chef Kim Bast and her talented crew are working with Lopez farmers and fishers to gather the best seasonal local foods for a truly memorable meal.

The evening begins at 6:30 with delectable finger foods and fine wines, down-home live music with Matt Hummel, Carol Noyes, Eric Hall & Lance Brittain, and a slide show featuring photos from our in-progress book, Images of America—Lopez Island.

Also: spectacular desserts, and a chance to win a huge basket of local treats.

To cap the evening, you'll have the opportunity to support your Historical Society during an entertaining auction with Dick & Sharon Friel. We'll have art by Steve Hill, Christa Malay, Patie Savage, Aurore Maren, Bob McCabe, Nancy Bingham, Mike & Jean Peterson, and others, plus a few unique experiences including a cooking class for six by gourmet locavore Kim Bast.

Tickets are only $25. We sold out early last year—call 360.468.2049 to reserve yours now!
