Welcome to Arlington’s 2011 Summer Festival

L

FROM MAYOR MARGARET LARSEN

et the summer festivities begin. Welcome to Arlington’s 2011 Summer Festival, including our famous Frontier Days4th of July, the Arlington Street Fair, and the 43nd annual Fly-In at Arlington Municipal Airport.

The 4th of July events kick-off at 7 a.m. with the traditional pancake breakfast prepared by the Snohomish County Fire District No. 21. This is a great time to socialize with friends and community.

You can also cheer on the participants of the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon. The Arlington Kiwanis silent and live auctions, also at Haller Park, support local scholarship funds. At 1 p.m. head over to Legion Park where “Marshmallow Madness” will fill the air — come and find out what this is all about!

The Grand Parade, sponsored by Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics and the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce,

starts at 5 p.m. on Olympic Avenue and promises to show off the best of Arlington and our patriotic spirit! The annual Kiddies Parade will again be leading the Grand Parade.

Pick your viewing spot on Olympic Avenue early.

After the parade, join us once again at Haller Park for the annual Rotary Duck Dash and live music, before heading out to Bill Quake Memorial Park to watch the spectacular fireworks display sponsored by the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce.

The Arlington Fly-In starts on Wednesday, July 6, and continues on through the weekend. The Fly-In draws over 1,000 aircraft and 60,000 visitors annually to Arlington Airport for five days of pure aerospace excitement. The Fly-In promises something for everyone, with new displays, daily air shows, a Kids’ Day, a hot air balloon night glow, and a special Veterans Appreciation Day.

Mayor Margaret Larsen A great new addition this year is a carnival at the Fly-In. In concert with the FlyIn, the Arlington Street Fair packs Olympic Avenue with booths from local artisans and vendors, along with fabulous entertainment and food. The Street Fair kicks off on Friday, July 8, and concludes on Sunday, July 10. Entertainment and oldfashioned fun will be provided at Legion Park.

We hope you enjoy yourself at this year’s many activities and make plans to spend a day in Arlington in the near future.

Frontier Days highlight Arlington’s spirit

P

erhaps one of the most impressive aspects of the annual Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration in Arlington is how smoothly it manages to happen each year.

“Everyone and no one is in charge of it,” city of Arlington Recreation Coordinator Sarah Higgins laughed. “Each organization handles its own events, but there’s no overall committee.”

Julie Morse, past president of the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce, hopes that locals

and visitors alike will make the Frontier Days celebration a full-day event.

“It’s such a huge benefit to the community that touches every resident,” Morse said.

“We have people who set up their chairs in the morning for the Grand Parade that afternoon.”

While Morse is proud that the Chamber can bring the Fourth of July fireworks display to the Arlington Boys & Girls Club each year after dusk, she also expressed enthusiasm for its Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon in the morning.

“That’s my favorite one to watch,” Morse said. “These festivities bring so many new people into Arlington for the day.”

Debbie Whitis, treasurer for the Downtown Arlington Business Association and chair of the Arlington Street Fair, which runs from July 8-10, likewise appreciates the family fun that the Frontier Days celebration offers.

“There’s so much going on in that one day,” said Whitis, “The Purse Lady” of Arlington. “It’s a huge event for such a small town. My family is looking forward to

it. I think I might even enter my grandkids in one of the parades so they can throw candy out of my purses.”

One new event that both Morse and Whitis are looking forward to on July 4 is the Chamber’s firstever “Mini-Marshmallow Madness,” from 1-3 p.m. in Legion Park, which began as a bid for a world record.

“The original intention was to get into Guinness for the world’s biggest food fight,” Chamber Executive Director Michael Prihoda said. “But [Guinness has] since decided that they no longer want to be involved in an event that wastes food, if you can even call marshmallows a ‘food.’”

Prihoda explained that most of Legion Park would be roped off for this event, and divided up into different areas for specific age groups.

“They’ll be able to shoot mini-marshmallows at targets with ‘marshmallow blasters,’ which are basically PVC pipes that let you blow marshmallows out with all the force that your lungs can muster,” Prihoda said.

“My grandson can shoot a marshmallow about eight to 10 feet, but grown-ups can

Arlington’s veterans participate in the 2010 Grand Parade. shoot marshmallows about 30-40 feet.”

“My grandkids have already been practicing for the big marshmallow fight,” Whitis said.

“We’re hoping to get as many as 1,000 people to turn out for this event,” Morse said.

Prihoda assured prospective attendees that the size and softness of the marshmallows ensures that they can’t harm anything that they’re shot at, nor can anything else be shot out of the marshmallow blasters.

After the various age groups have had their opportunities to play target practice, the “madness” part of the event begins at 2:30 p.m., with a marshmallow-blasting battle

between the participants.

“The Chamber will be selling its own blasters for a small fee, but the event itself is free and open to everyone, from ages 4 to 94, although we’ll look the other way and let in folks who are 95 and 96 too,” Prihoda laughed.

“Even though it won’t be for a world record, we’re still trying to get as many people involved as we can.”

Prihoda added that prizes of candy and gift baskets would be awarded to those who did the best jobs of hitting their targets.

Firefighters were kept very busy during last year’s Pancake Breakfast.

Firefighters serve up breakfast

T

he Arlington Rural Fire Department is hosting its annual Pancake Breakfast at Haller Park to kick off the Arlington Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration. Breakfast begins at 7 a.m. and runs until 10 a.m. For $5 you get pancakes, eggs and sausage. The proceeds from the event go to the Arlington Fire Association.

“I really enjoy doing this for the community,” event organizer and Arlington fireman Rick Isler said. “This is a special day for us all. We have all the festivities leading up to the parades and so our event has become the cornerstone for our community, probably because we feed them.”

Last year the firefighters sold more than 1,000 breakfasts. This year Isler expects the same turnout.

“This year we expect to do at least that number if not way more,” Isler said. “We have a lot of help so we aren’t completely buried.”

More than 25 firefighters, family and volunteers will light up the grill at 5 a.m. in preparation for what is sure to be a busy day of flipping and scrambling.

“It’s fun, but it’s nice when it is over,” Isler said. “We’ve been doing this for either 26 or 28 years, so we’ve become pretty good at it. It can be a very hectic day. But it is a fun time.”

The Arlington Firefighters Association receives 100 percent of the proceeds, all of which go toward various expenditures throughout the year. Over the Christmas holiday the association uses some of its fundraising proceeds to participate in the Adopt-A-Family program as well as other charitable deeds.

“The proceeds allow us to adopt a family during the holidays. They also go toward equipment we might need and they go toward the supplies we use, as well as the quality of sausage we use for the pancake breakfast,” Isler said.

s part of the Arlington Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration, the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce is hosting its highly anticipated Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon, beginning at 10 a.m., July 4, at Haller Park. Registration begins at 8 a.m.

“This is a fun event for both the competitors and the people and families who are just out to have a good time,” event organizer Rob Putnam said. “Some of the Iron men and women really compete, and some fami-

lies like to compete against other families.”

The triathlon covers 15.8 miles of three interconnected routes, including a 5.8-mile biking leg that begins at Haller Park and winds through town. It goes along State Route 530 and down to Jordan Road and then to the boat launch.

Competitors will then embark on a 6-mile canoe or kayak ride down the Stillaguamish River. Racers will paddle their way along the South Fork of the Stilly River and then to the beach at Haller Park. The final leg

15

of the triathlon is the 2-mile run that begins at the boat landing. Runners will make their way through Haller Park en route to Division Avenue. They will follow the flags to the west end of the park and eventually head onto SR 530 where they will cross the bridge and make their way back to the finish line at Haller Park.

There are four categories in which contestants can sign up including open team, individual, family and Iron men or Iron women.

Rotary ‘Duck Dash’ raises funds for the community

he Rotary Club of Arlington not only has a new chair for this year’s “Duck Dash,” but has also received enough support to sport a brand new feature on its tickets.

Linda Byrnes is chairing the annual fundraiser this year, which will once again launch its yellow rubber ducks into the Stillaguamish River near Lincoln Bridge at 7:30 p.m. on July 4.

As always, the roughly 12,000 ducks will finish their “dash” at Haller Park.

• Flagstone • River Rock • Slate Tile • PA Bluestone

Cash awards of $5,000 will go to the first-place finisher, $2,000 to second place, $1,000 to third and $100 to the fourth- through 10th-place finishers. The 11th- through 20th-place finishers will receive free Duck Dash T-shirts.

The Arlington Duck Dash has raised more than $600,000 over the years for the Arlington Food Bank, the Stillaguamish Senior Center, the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, and the city of

Arlington’s parks, trails and play fields, as well as the Arlington Cocoon House, Kids Kloset, Little League and Boys & Girls Club.

Those same Duck Dash proceeds have also funded scholarships for Arlington, Lakewood and Darrington students, as well as Arlington school drama, music and robotics clubs.

According to Byrnes, the Arlington Food Bank has become a fundraising priority for the Duck Dash once more, since construc-

“We want to take a leadership role in continuing to support the important programs we’ve already been supporting,” Byrnes said.

Although she acknowl-

edged that staging the Duck Dash is “not inexpensive,” Byrnes credited the sponsors of this year’s Duck Dash with paying for 100 percent of its expenses, which means that 100 percent of the money that’s spent on purchasing each

Duck Dash ticket goes directly back into the community.

Tickets can be purchased at the Arlington Pharmacy or at Haller Park after the Grand Parade. For more information, log onto www. greatstillyduckdash.com.

Auction benefits scholarships

H

aller Park will once again serve as the site for two silent auctions and one live auction by the Arlington Kiwanis Club on July 4.

The Arlington Kiwanis Club added an early silent auction to the Arlington Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration two years ago. According to event coordinator David Boulton, the Kiwanis Club put breaks between its 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. silent auctions, as well as its live auction at noon, to allow attendees to drift in and out of each auction, as well as to afford auction organizers opportunities to clean up after each one.

“Scheduling our auctions at these times lets us capture the folks who are already there at Haller Park for the Pancake Breakfast and the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon,” Boulton said. “The spectators can spend a lot of time waiting for the racers so, in the meantime, they’ll have opportunities to spend some money and support Arlington and Lakewood students.”

Boulton estimated that the Arlington

Kiwanis auctions have been going on for the past 15 years, starting across the street from the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce back when its offices were located near Legion Park. He sees the auctions’ current venue, with its proximity to other Frontier Days events, as a way of capitalizing even more on what he deemed an already impressive level of community spirit in Arlington.

“There’s a sense of excitement about all of this in Arlington that you just don’t get from other communities’ festivities,” said Boulton, who singled out area merchants for contributing so generously to the auctions.

“It’s almost all local stuff that’s up for bid, and we like to keep it that way,” Boulton said. “Most of it comes from Arlington and Marysville businesses who have donated their products to this good cause. They’re supporting Arlington, so we want to support them right back. You don’t need to drive down to Seattle to be able to enjoy these prizes.”

Families love Arlington’s Kiddies Parade

he boys and girls of Arlington have an opportunity to upstage their elders.

Perhaps that’s what makes an opening act shine.

In cooperation with Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics and the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce,

kids 12 and under can take part in the Kiddies Parade in Arlington’s Fourth of July celebration beginning at 4:30 p.m.

“The kids get to lead off the day in their own parade,” said event organizer Kelly Penny, who has spent the past three months organizing

and preparing for both the Grand and Kiddies parades. “For the kids, they have a much bigger audience and they love that.”

Last year more than 100 kids participated in parade. Penny believes that number can be easily reached this year.

“This is always a favorite event for the kids,” Penny said. “There will be a great showing. Whenever you can dress up and walk down Olympic it is a fun day.”

Nearly 50 volunteers will be on hand to headup registration, judge entrants and supervise the order in which participants will begin their tour of downtown Arlington.

There are three themes kids can choose from —

costume, patriotic and wheels. In years past, kids decorated their bikes or donned creative costumes and marched or rode down the parade route.

“I remember coming to this parade long before I got involved with organizing it and I had such a good time,” Penny said.

“I am proud to be a part of it. We are going to have a great parade this year.”

Registration for the Kiddies Parade will take place at 3:30 p.m., at the Public Utility District building located at 210 Division St. Printable copies of registration forms can be downloaded off the city of Arlington website, at www.arlingtonwa.gov. To reach Penny, people can call her at 360-618-7849, or stop by the reception desk of Cascade Valley Hospital.

Lyle Forde named grand marshal of Grand Parade

f Lyle Forde was hoping that his retirement from teaching at Arlington High School would free up his schedule, he wasn’t counting on having such a busy summer.

After 35 years of leading the choral program at AHS, Forde not only was honored with a retirement concert at the Linda M. Byrnes Performing Arts Center on June 18, but he’ll also be serving as the grand marshal for this year’s Frontier Days Fourth of July Grand Parade.

Just as Forde wasn’t quite expecting that not only fellow faculty members, but also past and present students, and even Arlington Mayor Margaret Larson would turn out for his retirement concert to commemorate his legacy, so too was he surprised by his own selection as this year’s grand marshal.

“It’s flattering that I was asked, and I’m happy to do it, but I’ve never thought of myself as a pillar of the Arlington community,” Forde said. “I see this role

as more fitting of someone like the mayor. Still, I appreciate that so many people in the community appreciate what I’ve been doing for the past 35 years.”

When Forde started teaching at AHS in 1976, he not only added choirs, a guitar class, and a piano and keyboard class during his first few years at the school, but he also changed the focus of the “Swing Choir” into the renamed “Jazzmine” vocal jazzbased choir. He’s repeatedly expressed his gratitude to

the community for its support of the school’s choirs, including their participation in the biannual community choir performances of Handel’s “Messiah,” as well as their consistent attendance of Jazzmine shows and other musical events.

Forde hopes to continue teaching, possibly part-time and at the posthigh school level, but he’s also considering seeking employment in boating, since he has his Coast Guard captain’s license and previously fished on the high seas for 12 years.

Looking ahead to the more immediate future, Forde can’t wait to participate in “the whole package” of Arlington’s Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration this year.

“Celebrations like this are one of the really sweet things about small town U.S.A.,” Forde said. “When Jazzmine went to Russia back in the 1990s, and when our football team has made it to state, the community has always thrown us parades. You just don’t see that in bigger towns.

We’re a much more tightknit community. I always felt that it was part of my job to help connect the schools to the community.”

Although he’s no longer part of the Arlington

School District, Forde still takes pride in being able to call Arlington his home.

“You see so many special things in a town like this,” Forde said. “Who wouldn’t want to live in Arlington?”

Grand Parade rolls down Olympic Avenue M arching bands, football teams and dance squads have all participated in the Arlington Fourth of July Grand Parade. This year should be much the same as an eclectic collection of entrants will begin their jaunt down Olympic Avenue in celebration of Independence Day beginning at 5 p.m.

Event organizer Kelly Penny believes the more creative an entrant is the more they are remembered. She should know.

Penny, who works in cooperation with the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce and the Cascade Valley Hospital, has helped run the parade for the past six years. She also runs the Kiddies Parade.

“This has been a lot of work, but I really enjoy putting this together,” Penny said. “Arlington is such a charming town and I think this parade reaffirms it. The parade is like what you would see in a movie, the perfect small town where everyone

knows each other. They all come out in support of the community and that’s what makes it special.”

Penny estimates that more than 100 entries will be received. She pointed out, however, that the number of entries does not exactly reflect the number of participants considering each entrant can have many people involved, either onboard a float or walking the parade path.

Former Arlington High School music teacher Lyle Forde, who retired from Arlington on June 23, after 35 years of service, will serve as the festival’s Grand Parade Marshal.

Parade registration begins at 2:30 p.m. near the Public Utility District building parking lot, located at 210 E. Division St. Entrants cannot participate if they aren’t registered by 4:30 p.m.

Printable registration

forms can be downloaded at the city of Arlington website, at www.arlingtonwa.gov or at the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce website, at www.arlingtonsmokeypointchamber.com.

An entry fee of $100 will be charged for participation by any political entry or person running for office in the upcoming election. A $25 fee will be charged for all commercial entries.

Fly-In offers old favorites, new attractions

his year’s Arlington Fly-In is set to bring a host of new features to the Arlington Municipal Airport from July 6-10.

Arlington Fly-In Executive Director Barbara Tolbert promised that familiar favorites would be returning, including the daily air shows, static aircraft displays, runway theater, and rides in biplanes, helicopters and warbirds, as well as the Saturday evening hot air balloon “Night

Glow” on July 9.

The Wednesday kickoff to the Fly-In is once again “Kids Day,” starting at 9 a.m. on July 6. It will offer hands-on exhibits and activities for youth, with a noon air show to complement lunch. Youngsters will also be able to go on “rides” in a three-axis aircraft simulator through July 10.

The Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force will be getting a jump start on the Arlington Fly-In, by making their first-ever

appearance at the Arlington Municipal Airport with its B-17 Flying Fortress “Sentimental Journey.”

The vintage World War II bomber will fly in at noon on July 5 and remain on display until its departure on July 11.

“You can get an up-close and personal look at a unique piece of aviation history,” Tolbert said. “The public is invited to tour this airplane inside and out. There’ll even be an opportunity for some lucky

individuals to actually take a flight and experience this rare aircraft firsthand.”

Other new features of this year’s Fly-In will be a fullfledged carnival, complete with rides and games of chance, as well as a radiocontrolled flight area, where RC pilots can test their skills at unmanned flight.

The Northwest Division Pacific Armor Corps will likewise be conducting a series of RC tank battles, demonstrations and team competitions using a variety of tank models and sizes.

NORDPAC is a non-profit group of RC tank enthusiasts based in the Pacific Northwest, with members residing in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia, Canada, a number of whom will be on hand to answer questions from the public.

The Fly-In’s “Antique Aircraft Day” is scheduled for Friday, July 8, complete with one-of-a-kind restored aircraft and a museum display from the Skagit Aero Museum in the “Barnstormer” area. Sunday will once again mark the Fly-In’s “Salute to Veterans

File Photo

The Fly-In’s “Military History” area remains a longtime favorite, according to Tolbert, based on the strength of offering the Pacific Northwest’s largest gathering of military vehicles and weapons on display, as well as a Medal of Honor display and visits by a host of WWII veterans, including several Tuskegee Airmen. This year, it’s growing by adding a shooting gallery, jeep rides and WWII tank demonstrations, showcasing the newest

acquisitions by Paul Allen and the Flying Heritage Collection.

“On Sunday, our ‘Salute to Veterans’ flight line parade just before the air show will feature some of those unique vehicles,” Tolbert said.

“With the celebration of the ‘Centennial of Aviation,’ the Navy will be showcasing a historical display and some special fly-overs on Friday and Saturday.”

Check out the Arlington Fly-In website at www. arlingtonflyin.org for a full listing of all its scheduled activities. As always, kids under 16 enter free with an adult.

Street Fair returns to downtown Arlington July 8-10

T

he 21st annual Arlington Street Fair is set to showcase a variety of food, entertainment and activities in downtown Arlington this year.

“The Purse Lady” Debbie Whitis is chairing the weekend event for the first time this year and she promised to preserve its hometown feel while updating a few of its features to make it more convenient for attendees.

“The food vendors have always been in the merchant lot in the middle of town,” Whitis said. “I thought it would be nice to be able to sit and enjoy the entertainment as well as great fair food. I moved the food down to the parking lot next to Legion Park so people can sit at a picnic table and enjoy the entertainment while snacking.”

The entertainment lineup for this year’s Street Fair aims to keep the crowd on its feet, with the Gamlins band’s performance at Legion Park on July 8 at 4 p.m. leading directly into an Arlington Idol contest starting at 6:30 p.m., with first place winning $100, second

place winning $50 and third place winning $25. Jeff Swanson of Haller Middle School will serve as the contest’s emcee.

“Come early to get signed up,” Whitis said. “There’s no need to try out. Just bring your music and perform.”

July 9 will see Legion Park hosting Zumba at 10 a.m., belly-dancers at 11 a.m., the Lucky Strikes band at noon and the Shot Gun Aces band at 3 p.m. The Rocket Alley Bar & Grill will also be hosting a band of their own that afternoon in their outdoor beer garden, while the Local Scoop will be setting picnic tables in front of their restaurant for folks to enjoy their ice cream. Arlington’s police and fire chiefs will be providing additional entertainment by sitting in dunk tanks that day at 2 p.m.

The Farmer’s Market will have its tents and booths set up on Olympic Avenue from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., but more than 100 vendors will be on site from July 8-10, all three days of the Street Fair. July 8 and 9 will likewise offer shuttles to the Arlington FlyIn, while July 10 promises

a performance by the Sauer Kraut Band in Legion Park at noon, as well as a display of military vehicles on Olympic Avenue.

Whitis touted the range of goods that will be on sale that weekend, from handmade to commercial, as well as activities including a bouncy house, a pitching machine, putt-putt golf and a 24-foot-tall rock climbing wall.

“For the most part, though, it will be as it always has been — a great oldfashioned Street Fair in our quaint little town with a big heart,” Whitis said. “I want to see it grow and make it even more of a great place to spend the weekend with friends and family. I sell purses so I understand a lot of what the vendors need.

I am also the secretary for DABA so I try to put the community first.”

Whitis has listed all of the Street Fair’s vendors on the Downtown Arlington Business Association website, at http://arlingtonwa.org, and plans on posting a list of the events’ times and locations on the site as well.
