Arts Small-Town Pleasures
After all the week’s talk about small towns and their guns and racists and small minds and mass murderers, this press release, from a small town, made me feel all warm inside:
Come to the Port Gamble General Store & Cafe located in Port Gamble , just one mile past the Hood Canal Bridge, and join in the fun and feasting. Beginning Saturday April 1 (no foolin’), we will be barbecuing out front so you can enjoy the aroma of grilled burgers, dogs, brats and sausages. The barbecue will continue every Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Join us again every Wednesday with your own personal motorcycle or your favorite biker. Cruise-in Wednesdays begin April 5, 2006 from 6 to 9 p.m. We’ll be barbecuing on these evenings, too.
As always, the Port Gamble General Store & Cafe will have homemade soup and chili and a full deli sandwich menu on hand inside. Homemade Clam Chowder is available every day.
Also, beginning this month is Open Mic night at the General Store. On the second Friday of each month bring your voice, your instrument and your friends to make some noise and enjoy others from 7 to 10 p.m. First Open Mic this year will be Friday, April 14, 2006 featuring Re-Union and their folk-inspired tunes.
The Port Gamble General Store & Cafe is located at 32400 NE Rainier Avenue #3, Port Gamble. For more information contact 306-297-7636.
The Port Gamble General Store and historical area is a nice 50-70 mile round trip bike ride from the Bainbridge Ferry dock. Chief Sealth's grave is on the way. If you haven't been, give it a try. It's a nice ride, and depending on how you navigate Bainbridge, it's rideable on a fixie.
