2016 Trashion Fashion Show

The annual Trashion Fashion Show is part of the San Juan County Fair, but it's also an event unto itself. This year's, held on August 20, was the tenth and possibly final show, as founder and local textile artist Francie Hansen is retiring from organizing it. I covered it for the San Juan Island Update. It was actually my first time seeing the show, and I was glad I did!

You may (or may not) recognize former World Wrestling Federation star Lisa Moretti in a hilarious take on the Bride of Frankenstein. Also of note is the lithe and limber Madrona Jameson of Spring Street International School, leading a flash mob dance. And of course, Francie Hansen herself appears at the end to lead the models off in a triumphal parade.

2016 San Juan County Fair

The San Juan County Fair is my favorite time of the year for taking photos. So much to see, so much to capture! This year was no different, with an abundance of visual riches. Here are some of my favorites, all taken on the first day of the fair, August 17, and later appearing in the San Juan Island Update.

2016 Fourth of July Parade

Here are a few images from this year's Fourth of July parade, here in Friday Harbor. I admit it, I was more interested in the crowd than in the parade!
