PORT ANGELES — Guest artists will work with students on projects such as carving, weaving and beadwork during Peninsula College’s second annual Culture Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today.
The free fair will be in the Pirate Union Building on the Port Angeles campus at 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd.

The Culture Fair began in 2015 to provide the opportunity for students to educate the college campus and community about tribal history, the college said in a news release.
This year, the Culture Fair will include a recognition of tribal flags.
Preparing for the fair
Students from Peninsula College, Port Angeles High School and other area schools have been collaborating during afternoon workshops in preparation for the fair.
