Innkeeper Talk by Pulaski, Pet Host

Now what do I write about? We have settled back into our house and the amazing Innsitters, Mark and Shannon, have gone back to Portland. Everyone was sad, but they have promised to return.

My masters suggested that I write about how wonderful the Blue Heron B&B is, and how wonderful Orcas Island is, how wonderful the low season rates are now... blah, blah, blah. Anyone's advice who laughs at a miniature cat running around the room is suspect. Yes, Alabama, the rescued kitten from the storm drain at the Alabama Visitor's Center, went nuts when she got in the house. Even though she is restricted (ha! ha! I get to go everywhere!) to the back rooms, it was a zillion times larger than her space in the RV. At first she was all scared, then she raced around and up the couch and under the bed. Good grief!
Well, I guess I could mention a couple of festivals happening here on Orcas. The Shakespeare Festival is Mar. 19-22. I like this one. I get to walk around Eastsound and see all the folks in costume talking like it is in the days of Shakespeare. Very fun!
The Bird and Wildlife Festival is a new event, so I'm not sure what's happening. I copied some stuff off the Chamber website and that's the best place to get information. I bet when Alabama gets older, she will terrorize birds and wildlife. You should see what she does to a water bottle!!

3rd Annual Shakespeare Festival is coming!
Once again, Orcas Island becomes ‘Shakespeare Island’ as our festival resumes this March. Live theater, street performers, and a parade are only part of it! Seattle Shakespeare Company performs Othello, and Professors Ayanna Thompson tackles ‘Othello in the 21st Century.’ Check out the Chamber Page for more details.
Orcas Island Bird & Wildlife Festival in April
Mark your calendars for April 10 -12, 2014 for the inaugural Bird & Wildlife Festival! We kick it all off with a dinner featuring author & naturalist Thor Hanson, and follow it up with two days of walks, hikes, talks, parades, and loads of Orcas Wildlife! Stay tuned!
