Thanks for great events on Jetty, marina

I would like to extend a big thank you to the Arts Council of Snohomish County for the third annual Float Find on Jetty Island. What a fun day! My daughter-in-law and I both found beautiful floats and had a great time doing so. I felt like a child at an Easter egg hunt!

We made a day of it by attending the 14th annual Fresh Paint festival of artists on the Everett Marina promenade after the hunt. Thank you to all of the volunteers (it must take many) for making it an enjoyable first time experience!

Vicki L. Chrisman (Float No. 46!)
