“Sound Community Bank is thrilled to be the Event Title Sponsor of the highly anticipated Illuminated Drone Show at the 5th annual Sequim Sunshine Festival,” said Shelli Robb-Kahler, senior vice president/relationship manager for Sound Community Bank.
“We understand the importance of supporting and giving back to the communities we serve,” she said. “By investing in local events and organizations we can help strengthen the fabric of our Sequim community.”

“PUD staff have always enjoyed the sense of wonder, as well as a little competitive streak when kids experience the generating bike for the first time. We are excited to be part of this event,” said Nicole Hartman, communication manager and public records officer for the PUD.
