Rick Bulman Displays at Fairhaven Originals Gallery

Saturday, August 28

Caitlin McInnis, Curator of Fairhaven Originals Gallery, “fog”, chats with artist Rick Bulman at the gallery showing Friday evening.  A showing of Rick’s art, including his beautiful acrylic on slate etchings, is now on display at the gallery.  Rick lives near Fairhaven and has developed a solid reputation for his fine art.

Also showing at fog are the works of several other artists, including sculpture, paintings and other media.  Caitlin opened the gallery in June and has quickly added artists to fill the large display space.  Some of the other featured artists are Ann Fleming, Douglas Fisher, Nnamdi Okonkwo, Mike Klung, Lea Kelly and Sandy Keller.  fog is the newest of several art galleries in and near the Historic Fairhaven district.  Most have a distinctive Northwest approach to their presentations and provide a chance to discover new and original art and artists.  We invite you to visit Fairhaven. 

Summer morning breakfast at Skylark’s

Saturday, August 21

Five restaurants had folks enjoying breakfast outside this morning in Fairhaven - with these warm mornings of August.  We picked Skylark’s where there is actually dining in the back on the Cobblestone Walk as well as here on the sidewalk of 11th Street.  George is enjoying a quiet relaxed time - except for the photographer who asked to take his photo.  And the ladies in the back are treating themselves after a 10 mile walk this morning.  Yes - that is ten miles.  We invite you to Fairhaven for dining - breakfast, lunch or dinner. We have over 20 places to dine.  And the weather is really nice.  And you don’t have to walk miles before treating yourself.

Fine summer evening at the Outdoor Cinema

Saturday, August 14

We don’t take these beautiful warm evenings for granted.  And each Saturday evening, the Fairhaven Outdoor Cinema features an hour of fine music before sunset and the movie.  Here Jeff Howard and Anneka Deacon perform for the gathering audience.  By movie time after dark, all the space will be filled with blankets and low lounge chairs.  You can check the movie schedule in the left column.  We invite you down for one or more of the three movies remaining this month.  Bring something comfortable to sit on, relax, enjoy the music and then enjoy a movie under the stars.  Its a wonderful experience.  We thank Epic Events and the Old Fairhaven Association for these movies each summer.

Great Time at The Market at Fairhaven BBQ

Sunday, August 8

A fun Sunday as the rain ended and crowds came to The Market at Fairhaven parking lot for BBQ, live music, beer garden and photos with famous Northwest seafood skippers.  Yep, from the TV show “Deadliest Catch”, here is skipper of the “Wizard”, Keith Colburn grinning at us.  Folks were lined up to have their photo taken with Keith. 

A dozen or so professional BBQ competitors cooked up ribs, chicken, pork butt and brisket.  Shown above enjoying themselves, are Amber on the left and pitmaster Cindy of “Ella’s Barbeque”.  For $5 anyone could sample the niblets from all the competitors - and you can see folks serving up tastes as Amber prepares plates of more niblets.  It was a super opportunity to sample BBQ from many of the best chefs in the Western US and Canada.  We thank The Market at Fairhaven.
