Port Townsend, WA—Fly a falcon and stare into its wild amber eyes before it takes flight. Bring a few friends along and tour the breeding facility near Vancouver, BC.
Luxuriate in a romantic get-away in the foothills near Santa Fe, New Mexico, in a private adobe guest house with all the feel of the Southwest in architecture, furnishings and art.
Treat yourself and your guests to a special evening of food and music with each course introduced by special musical guests. Will it be “Cockles and Mussels?” or “Honey Pie?”
Cruise Lake Washington and Lake Union in one of the region’s original classic wooden “dreamboats” from 1926.
Hike the Hoh River Trail during elk breeding season with a ranger as your guide and glimpse these magnificent animals up close and personal.
All this and much more await you when you celebrate the Port Townsend Marine Science Center’s 25th Anniversary at the “Tides of March” Benefit Auction on March 1, 2008, at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in the Erickson Building. Once there, scrumptious food, fine wines and hearty brews will be served to you, beginning at 5 p.m. Silent auction bidding begins upon your arrival.
