Wooden Boat Festival builds on last year's success

 

August 20, 2015



After last year’s successful Elochoman Marina Wooden Boat Festival in Cathlamet, the Festival was able to acquire several sponsors and sign Bank of the Pacific on as title sponsor for the Labor Day weekend festival. The new name of the festival will be the “Bank of the Pacific Elochoman Marina Wooden Boat Festival.” The Festival will be held on Saturday, September 5.

This year they will feature wooden boat exhibits in the water and on land, a free hamburger barbecue for boat exhibitors, presentations on wooden boat building and restoration, row club information, vendors, sea shanties at noon with Skamokawa Swamp Opera, rubber duck races, youth boat building and shingle boat races.

River Mile 38 Brewing Company, located in the Marina will offer their handcrafted brews. Instead of the regular Buzzard’s Breath Chili Cook-Off, this year a Chili/Chowder cook-off is planned.

Elochoman Marina has park model cabins, yurts, RV and tent camping. The Hotel Cathlamet is located a short walk into Cathlamet. A short stroll up Main Street will find groceries, restaurants, Daisy Chain Floral shop and the Tsuga Art Gallery.

Registration is now open for boats, vendors and campers.

For information, registration, to sign up to give a formal presentation or to volunteer, contact Elochoman Marina. Phone: (360) 795-3501, email: port1J@cni.net.
