SHIPWRECK DAY JULY 16, 2011

Posted by Olivia Fisher

Shipwreck Day applications are being mailed for this year's annual garage sale! Please note that the explanatory letter and application are on our website, lower right corner under downloads. We are looking forward to our 2nd year of sponsorship. As this is one of our major fund raisers we know you will all come out to make it a great success.

Here is part of the new letter to booth applicants. Big thanks to Dave Sem for allowing application pick-up at Sebo's this year.

Vendor spaces will be laid out on Commercial Avenue from 10^th to 2^nd streets and include a few side streets, but will not wrap around the corners. Spaces will be assigned first for those who participated last year and if there is a conflict the space will be awarded on a first come, first served basis. The City of Anacortes has requested that we adjust our booth size to accommodate better access to the wheelchair ramps at each intersection. Those sites have now been reduced to 10 x 15 and left at last years prices. Stores located downtown have the right to request the space directly in front of their business if their application is received by June 1^st.

You will receive a letter with your space assignment much closer to the event. Please return the enclosed form and your vendor fee made payable to Fidalgo Island Rotary. Additional applications can be picked up at Sebo's Hardware Store on 11^th and Commercial. We are asking that all applications be returned by mail. Questions concerning this years' event should be addressed to Rotarian Valerie Tibbetts at 360 299-9390. This year we are providing additional restroom facilities as well as more visible road barricades for the comfort and safety of our customers.

Funds raised from the 32nd Annual Shipwreck Day support local and international Rotary Projects. We look forward to working with you and appreciate your support and participation in this fun event.
