Rain Fest inspires goofy garb

<< Back to archives | Saturday, January 26, 2008

Coming next Saturday noon - from 11:30 to 12:30 - is our annual Rain Festival.  We encourage all to attend - and if you do, we hope you will show off your most stylish or outlandish rain gear.  There is even a Rain Gear Fashion Show - with prizes from Fairhaven merchants for the best gear.  And a poetry contest for the best original poem about rain - written and read by the person who enters.  The poetry winner gets first pick of the prizes.  No entry fee - no registration - just show up and read your poem - hopefully not much longer than a minute.  Above is a photo from our festival last February.  No rain but we celebrated anyway.

This is our 6th annual celebration.  Above in the Events is a link to more information.  Lets celebrate our gentle soft rain of our Pacific Northwest.  If they can celebrate a groundhog out East then we have more reason to celebrate our rain.  Some Fairhaven restaurants will have special Rain Fest lunches on their menus for immediately after the 12:30 pm ending of the event.  Come join us and help make it more fun.  And who is that in the yellow outfit on the right?  Erica, the manager of the Artwood Gallery.  Maybe we will get rain this year.  Maybe snow. !!
