Today my friend Christi and I decided to attend the 4th annual Driftwood Day here in Oak Harbor. I really had no idea what a "Driftwood Day" was but decided it obviously had something to do with driftwood and that perhaps it was some sort of arts and crafts festival. I was all set to buy everyone Christmas gifts made out of driftwood - you know things like driftwood toothpicks, driftwood calendars etc- However, as we approached Windjammer Park we were surprised to see that it was not in fact, a arts and crafts festival, but actually a contest to see who could build the coolest buildings out of driftwood found on the beach. The entries were pretty neat and I have to give props to everyone who took time out of their day to participate in this event. Anyway, if you are interested in attending next year here's some info I found from a website about the event:
All are invited to the 4th Annual Driftwood Day on September 19th.
No implements or material may be brought with you, only what is found at the beach that day can be used. No kill level, no age level...just have fun! Trophies will be awarded. Bring a lunch, rain or shine...it's Whidbey Island.

So , anyway that about sums it up. I think I'm gonna build something next year. I mean, after all according to this website, there are no kill levels. Which is good..my kill levels have always gotten me into trouble.
Happy Driftwood Day everyone!
