The Penn Cove Water Festival has a tradition of giving a loaf of homemade bread to racing teams, entertainers and dignitaries, to welcome them to Coupeville. This tradition dates back to the time of Pot Latches when the tribal chief would welcome guests to his land with a gift of food. We extend an invitation to island residents to assist us in this presentation. If you can bake a loaf of bread, any kind, it will be gratefully received and presented at the festival on May 14. The bread can be delivered to the Coupeville United Methodist Church on Main Street between 9 a.m. to noon on Friday, May 13. For more information, or for an alternative drop-off time, call Ginny Vracin at 360-678-4644.
