Hibulb Cultural Center fetes first anniversary BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
TULALIP — The Hibulb Cultural Center marked its first-year anniversary during the weekend of Aug. 17-19 by serving as the site for storytellers, craftmakers, gardeners and film screenings for three days. While Tulalip Tribal member James Madison covered Coast Salish painting on Saturday, Aug. 18, the afternoon of Sunday, Aug. 19, saw Cy and Tim Williams demonstrating chainsawcarving before Steve Madison led a Pacific Northwest drawing workshop.

Arlington’s Stacie Ventura and her 3-yearold Belgian sheepdog Felan were among the dogs and their owners who got a workout on the agility course that had been set up on the soccer fields. “He’s a young dog, so it can be hard to keep him focused,” Ventura said of Felan, with whom she’s been competing in such courses for two years. “It’s been rewarding to see him mature and improve, though. He’s gotten more consistent in his runs, and working together as a team gives us bonding experiences.” Judy Marquardt supervised more than 20 dogs and their owners as they made their way through the hurdles, hoops and other obstacles of the agility course set up by her husband Michael. “In the baskets they’ve handed out to dog
