Saturday, May 21st was our chance to walk (or drive) alongside Fin the giant salmon with the good people of the North Olympic Salmon Coalition in the Port Townsend Rhody Parade. It was a good bit of fun all around, and the energy that could be felt coming from all the parade participants was simply contagious. We noticed people and parade floats from all over Jefferson County, and it was quite impressive to see so many representatives from various organizations.
It was a very sincere pleasure to be out there to represent not only the Washington Conservation Corps and have a good time doing it, but to also represent the North Olympic Salmon Coalition in our common goals of conservation, restoration, and maintaining habitat especially important to salmon populations. Plus, having nearly every kid observing in the crowd yell out, “Look at the big fish!” was pretty heartwarming as well.
We’d like to extend a huge thanks to the staff at NOSC for having us along and Fin for carrying Linda Lou around throughout the parade!
