FRIDAY HARBOR CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

February 9, 2009 will mark the 100th anniversary of the Town of Friday Harbor’s incorporation. Plans are still underway for the year-long celebration that will commemorate Friday Harbor’s 100th year, and the Centennial Committee urges the community to participate in the celebration.

The Centennial Celebration will kick-off at the San Juan County Fair 2008 and conclude one year later at the 2009 County Fair. Events currently sanctioned include:

  • August 13th-16th, 2008 San Juan County Fair Centennial Booth - Sponsored by Kevin & Ann Peterson

  • Sept. 12 & 13, 2008 Beard Growing Contest Begins - Sponsored by Island Rec

  • Sept. 20, 2008 Community Photo - Sponsored by Debbie Emery & Kelley Balcomb-Bartok

  • February 2009 Friday Harbor History Book Available for Sale - Sponsored by San Juan Historical Society

  • February 9, 2009 Town of Friday Harbor Birthday Party - Sponsored by Town of Friday Harbor

  • May 2nd-24th, 2009 Painting Show of 2008 Friday Harbor - Sponsored by waterworks Gallery

  • June-August 2009 Children & Teen’s Summer Reading Challenge - Sponsored by San Juan Island Library

  • July 4th, 2009 4th of July Parade Theme: Centennial Celebration - Sponsored by San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce

The Centennial Committee wants to see this list of events grow and is urging involvement from local businesses, organizations, families and individuals to participate in the celebration.  Creating special events, publications, projects and programs that honor Friday Harbor’s past, celebrate our present and imagine our future is the mission of the Centennial Committee.  All ideas are welcome including already popular annual events that may have a Centennial focus this particular year.  As well, any potential contest or game suggestions would be helpful.  If you have an idea which you are unable to develop yourself, but think it would be a worthwhile opportunity for someone else, please let us know.

The Centennial Committee meets once a month to review submitted sanction event forms.  To submit your idea, please click here to print out a sanction event form.  Return it to Amy Taylor, Town Clerk at Town Hall BEFORE JULY 1st, 2008.  With Sanctioning, the Centennial Committee will list the business, project or event on its Master Calendar and website, and sanction the use of the official Centennial logo on related materials.

Help us pay tribute to the exciting people, places and events that helped shape the Town of Friday since nearly a century ago. For more information on the Centennial Committee’s Goals and Operating Guidelines click here, visit www.fridayharbor100.com, or email Amy Taylor.
