Summer on the “Friendly Isle”
Join us for our 3rd Annual Summer Social, Saturday July 31

Outdoors on the Hoedemaker Farm on Davis Bay, Lopez Island
The spectacular Hoedemaker Farm on Lopez Island’s Davis Bay will serve as the backdrop this year for our annual Summer Social event. Originally a dairy owned by the pioneering Davis family and birthplace of Lopez Island’s first settler child, the 47-acre Hoedemaker Farm will provide visitors with sweeping vistas of Rosario Strait, the Olympic Mountains and Richardson Marsh, one of San Juan County’s most important coastal wetlands.
The 3rd Annual Summer Social will be held on Saturday, July 31 from 4:00 – 7:00 pm in collaboration with the artists of Plein Air Washington (PAWA). As in past years, PAWA artists will be painting outdoor scenes throughout the islands prior to the event. Crow Valley Pottery and Gallery will showcase and auction these paintings at the Hoedemaker Farm on July 31, then at the Gallery in the weeks that follow, with partial proceeds benefiting the Preservation Trust. PAWA artists will also be painting at the Hoedemaker Farm on the day of the event.
Music will be provided by JP and the OK Rhythm Boys. Lopez chef Kim Bast will prepare local food with wine from Lopez Island Vineyards. Families are welcome, and activities for children will be provided. A $20.00 donation per adult is welcomed.
Lopez is known as the “Friendly Isle,” so don’t miss this opportunity to reconnect with old friends or introduce a new friend to the work of the Preservation Trust. We’re looking forward to seeing you at the Hoedemaker Farm on the 31st of July!
