Hendricks beyond influential in festival

Jerry Hendricks chaired the Festival of Trees for 12 years.

The North Olympic Peninsula Festival of Trees has grown to be the largest fundraising event in Port Angeles, and no one made a greater impact on the festival than Jerry Hendricks, who chaired it for 12 years.

Hendricks passed away last summer, but not before leaving a mark on all that he touched.

In everything he was involved with, Hendricks was always looking ahead, wanting to take any project to the next level.

While serving with the Port of Port Angeles from 1967 to 1994, he had a hand in many port projects throughout the year.

“A lot of these projects were not necessarily accomplished

when times were good,” said Steve Oliver, a business contact and personal friend of Hendricks for many years.

Oliver, who was the port attorney for 40 years and owned a sailing boat with Hendricks, continued, “Those who live on the Peninsula know that the timber industry is extremely cyclical, our economy is cyclical, and he accomplished many projects in good times as well as bad.”

Hendricks was the person behind the development of the John Wayne Marina, after the Wayne family gifted the property to the port in 1975.

Oliver said that it was because of Hendricks’ leadership, patience

and tenacity that the marina was developed.

And did he bring tenacity.

“With Jerry, there were never problems, only solutions,” said Foundation Executive Director Bruce Skinner.

“The Festival of Trees is a multi-faceted event that always faces challenges, and Jerry got us through all of those and still proceeded to make the event better.

Hendricks loved sail-boating and had many incredible adventures, including racing from Victoria to Hawaii multiple times.

He also loved to play golf, snow ski and spend numerous hours in his shop “doing projects.”

His woodworking skills and

ability to fix anything were amazing.

The Festival definitely benefitted from the latter. Whenever the event needed something constructed, Hendricks was there.

In 1984, Jerry and Betty (Petit) were married. Both were highly successful in the business world (Betty owned a local pharmacy), but they also gave back to the community.

“Jerry was a great man and I knew it, and it makes me happy that everyone else knew it, too,” Betty said.

“Throughout this whole thing, the support I have had from friends, family and the community — you couldn’t believe it.”

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a very happy new year!

New to Festival of Trees: Gingerbread!

Gingerbread houses will be prominently displayed for the first time during Family Days, presented by Avamere Olympic Rehabilitation of Sequim, during Festival of Trees, set for Nov. 25-26 at the Vern Burton Community Center, Port Angeles.

“Many accomplished designers and businesses have stepped up to create wonderful gingerbread structures,” said OMC Foundation Executive Director Bruce Skinner.

The houses will be on display only at Family Days, which will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Sunday.

In addition, kids will be able to decorate their own gingerbread houses and have their photos taken with Santa at the event.

Family Days also will feature entertainment and many other games for kids.

“For those people who want to have their photo taken with Santa and enjoy many types of enter-

tainment for adults and kids, Vern Burton Community Center will be the place to be,” said Festival of Trees chair Mary Hebert.

Family Days will be a part of a larger weekend event. The Port Angeles Downtown Association and Festival of Trees Committee have joined forces to present entertainment on a large scale for the Thanksgiving Day Weekend.

The combined effort begins Friday morning, with the annual Teddy Bear Tea, presented by First Federal. This wildly popular event will kick off the weekend and will feature parents and children enjoying live entertainment, holiday refreshments and visits from Santa.

The Festival of Trees Gala, presented by Sequim Health and Rehabilitation, will feature the auctioning of over 50 Christmas trees and will be held at 5:30 p.m. Friday, followed by the firstever “After Hours” Festival of Trees event.

This event will be sponsored by

the Downtown Association, and Gala attendees and the public at large are invited to enjoy music of all types at several downtown restaurants and bars starting at 9:30 p.m.

They will include Bada NW Coffee Bar, Barhop Brewing, Bar N9NE, Bella Italia, H2O Restaurant (featuring the music of Fat Chance), The Metta Room, Next Door Gastropub and Wine on the Waterfront.

“There are many people who come home for the holiday weekend. This will be a great time for many of them to get together downtown and visit with friends that they haven’t seen in a while,” Skinner said.

The Senior Breakfast, presented by the Lodge at Sherwood Village, Fifth Avenue Retirement and Sherwood Assisted Living, will be held Saturday at 8:30 a.m. as part of the festival.

This will be followed by the Family Days events.

It will be held in the sunken parking lot on Front Street, between Laurel and Oak streets, next door to Station 51 Taphouse, with the assistance of Port Angeles Fire Department volunteers.

The Hometown Holiday Main Show will begin at 3:30 p.m. on Laurel Street, followed by the arrival of Santa and the magical lighting of the Downtown Tree at 5 p.m.

“People are amazed by the resurgence of downtown Port Angeles,” Skinner said. “This will be the perfect time for people to witness the transformation of downtown first hand.”

Peninsula Daily News

Money designed trees for 19 years It’s the designers that are the backbone of Festival of Trees, and no one embodied the spirit of the group like Venay Money, who passed away Jan. 21, 2017, after a short fight with gall bladder cancer.

Each year, almost 200 people gather in Vern Burton Community Center two days prior to Thanksgiving to begin decorating the over 50 trees that are displayed in the facility, totally transforming it to the holiday wonderland that everyone witnesses each year for three days at Festival of Trees.

Money designed trees for 19 years, usually choosing a patriotic theme.

“SHE WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW HOW PRIVILEGED SHE FELT OF HER TIME WORKING WITH THE VETERANS AND JUST HOW MUCH SHE LOVED EVERY ONE OF THEM.” — VENAY MONEY’S CHILDREN “Venay was passionate about veterans,” said designer Barbara Rickard, who, along with Linda Hickey, is designing a tree in Money’s honor this year. “She volunteered for hours upon hours.”

According to her children, Money “held dear ‘her’ veterans.”

She was known as “Big Momma” and worked with Voices for Veterans to help stage their stand-downs.

“She wanted everyone to know how privileged she felt of her time working with the veterans and just how much she loved every

one of them,” they said.

Money sold ducks for the annual Duck Derby, and it was only fitting that her team name was the “Patriotic Quackers.”

For her efforts, she received the Volunteer National Award from the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs and the nation.

She also rode in the Auburn Parade as the Non-Veteran Volunteer of the Year.

Money moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1942 from South Dakota and never looked back.

She was a single parent to six children. >> MONEY, continued on Page 9

“She was able to buy two houses as a single woman and made sure to show us that if she could do it, we could do it,” her children said.

“Our mom told us when we were growing up that we would give back to those that helped us.”

And did she ever give back. The Olympic Peninsula Humane Society, Port Angeles Food Bank, the VFW Auxiliary Post 1024, St. Vincent de Paul and the Olympic Medical Center Foundation all benefitted from her volunteering.

When she was being treated for cancer, she told Olympic Medical Center Cancer Center personnel that she helped build it, because she had decorated trees for the Festival of Trees for 18 years.

She will be missed by all — veterans, friends, fellow volunteers and children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Venay Money designed trees for Festival of Trees for 19 years.
