WEEKEND: Chimacum to host community party at Finnriver Orchard on Saturday

CHIMACUM — This crossroads community will celebrate Chimacum Inter-Dependence Day with a family-friendly event at 5 p.m. Saturday at Finnriver Orchard.

The one-day festival at 124 Center Road will celebrate the Chimacum agricultural community and the growing business environment.

At 5 p.m., live music and dancing will feature Wild Phil and the Buffalo Gals.

Five food carts, cider on tap, free ice cream, a bake sale and the opportunity to climb in and out of a firetruck also are planned.

The World’s Sweetest and Bravest Talent Show will begin at 7 p.m., an unjudged event that allows performers five minutes onstage.

Hopefuls can sign up on-site at Finnriver; at Farm’s Reach Cafe, 8972 Beaver Valley Road; or via email at music@jcfmarkets.org.

Movies will be shown after the talent show, beginning with a short film produced by WSU Extension promoting Farm Tour 2016, starring Chimacum’s Roger Short.

It will be followed by a showing of “Babe,” the 1995 Academy Award-winning drama about a lovable sheep-herding pig.
