Tillicum Kiwanis Salmon Barbecue is a Big Hit

The annual Tillicum Kiwanis Salmon Barbecue will be from noon t08 p.m.at Hill Top Park on July 21 and 22. Stop by and have a wonderful all you can eat meal consisting of delicious salmon, salad, baked beans, garlic bread and beverages.

The recipe used for the salmon is from an old Kiwanis member who went back four generations to get this recipe from Scandinavia. You'll have to agree that this is one of the best tasting salmon you've ever had. Over 1,000 people were served last year and the Kiwanis are anticipating that much or more again this year. "The salmon is absolutely fabulous and everyone is so pleased with the . meal that they come back year after year;' said Wally Walsh {)f the Kiwanis. "It just keeps growing every year as the work gets out."

The cost is only $1 0 per person, $8 for seniors and students age 10 and.under are $5.

There will also be a silent auction on both days of the event from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. There is a large variety of great items to bid on. Bids can be made on Saturday and Sunday and the highest bidders will be notified on Sunday after the dinner is over.

The Tillicum Kiwanis Club members are currently all over 60 years of age. There are about 30 members and they will all be participating in this event, as well as several volunteers.

The Kiwanis support the community in many ways, including the young Children Priority One Program, the Senior Citizens Center, youth scholarships, Junior Achievement, Camp Casey, a camp for children with disabilities and of course, they are quite active in the Snohomish Food Bank by donating time and money. Their motto is "Changing the world one child and one community at a time:"

The Kiwanis' Young Children Priority One Program provides dictionaries to all third grade children in the Snohomish School District. Every pre­schooler attending the Salmon Barbecue will receive a free packet of books.

The Balloon Glow is back!

KIa Ha Ya Days' popular and colorful "Fire In The Sky" Balloon Glow is back by popular demand! After last year's one­year break, the Airial Hot Air Balloon Company and the KIa Ha Ya Days Festival Committee received many calls from festival-goers wanting the glow to return.

The Balloon Glow will be held at Harvey Field on Friday, July 20. The balloons will be glowing from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. and will be followed by the fireworks show. Come early and bring your blankets and/or chairs and find the perfect spot for viewing the balloons and fireworks!

"We are anticipating having at least five local balloons for the Glow;' said Marilyn Harvey of Airial Hot Air Balloons. "We're hoping for the weather to be nice and calm with no wind:'

Marilyn continued;' It's nice to have the glow' back, cars line-up on Hwy. 9 all the way to Clearview to watch them! And I always look forward to the fireworks, I can even view them from my house:'

During the Balloon Glow, hot air balloon pilots inflate the balloons using a larger­than-normal flame, but stay grounded and light up the balloons.

The Balloon Glow is $6 per person with kids under five admitted free.
