Dear Friends and Visitors,
Welcome to Arlington’s 2012 Summer Festival! It is our privilege to be your host and to invite your par-ticipation in the variety of Festival activities. This year’s Festival kicks off with our famous Fourth of July Fron-tier Days festivities in downtown Arlington. We hope you will join us for a fun � lled day starting at Haller Park at 7 a.m. for a pancake breakfast prepared by Ar-lington Rural Fire District staff. You can also cheer on the participants of the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon. The Arlington Kiwanis silent and live auctions, also at Haller Park, support local scholarship funds.
This year the Chamber is bringing in old fashioned carnival games and food vendors to Legion Park from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Chamber will also be selling event T-shirts, balloons, apple pie, candy apples and cotton candy! After the parades, Legion Park will be the place to be for the newly added Balloon Relay and the Potato Sack Race.
The Fourth of July Grand Parade, sponsored by Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics and the Arling-
ton-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce, starts at 5 p.m. on Olympic Avenue. The annual Kiddies Parade will again be leading the Grand Parade. After the pa-rade, we hope you join us once again at Haller Park for the annual Rotary Duck Dash and live music, before heading out to Bill Quake Memorial Park to watch the spectacular � reworks display sponsored by Arlington Rotary and the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce.
The festival continues with the 44th Annual Arling-ton Fly-In at Arlington Municipal Airport. The Fly-In draws over 1,000 aircraft and 60,000 visitors annually to Arlington for � ve days of pure aviation excitement. The Fly-In begins on Wednesday, July 11, and contin-ues on throughout the weekend, with daily airshows, new displays, a hot air balloon night glow, and an out-door movie theater. In concert with the Fly-In, the Ar-lington Street Fair packs Olympic Avenue with booths from local artisans and vendors, along with fabulous entertainment and food. The Street Fair kicks off on Friday, July 13, and concludes on Sunday, July 15.
The Arlington Festival is a tradition that brings Ar-lington together as a community to extend the wel-coming spirit to all our visitors. It is through strong community partnerships along with countless vol-unteer hours that Arlington is able to bring you this incredible community event. We hope you have an enjoyable visit and that you make it a tradition in your family to attend each and every year.

ARLINGTON — For � ve dollars and an early morning start, Arlington residents can have a hot breakfast, courtesy of local � re� ghters.
The Arlington Fire� ghters Asso-ciation is hosting its annual Pancake Breakfast at Haller Park to kick off Ar-lington’s Fourth of July Frontier Days Celebration. Breakfast begins at 7 a.m. and runs until noon.
“We have two breakfast options. There’s pancakes, eggs and sausage or pancakes, strawberries and sausage,” said Branden Bates, assistant � re chief.
The pancake breakfast is in its 29th year and has been serving plates for $5 for as long as Bates can remember. “It’s fun for a lot of people who can come every year,” he said.
“It’s a really great community event,” said Bates. “We just try to support our community.”
The proceeds from the pancake breakfast go back into the Asso-ciation’s fund to use for expenses throughout the year, including repairs and equipment. “In the past, during Christmas, we have adopted two fami-lies in our district,” said Bates, of one way that the money is used. “We � nd people who are in need and try to give them the best Christmas ever.”
Last year, the breakfast saw more than 1,000 participants and Bates expects to get that number again this year. “For the last several years we’ve served about 1,000 breakfasts.”
For that many hungry guests, they’ll have between 20 and 25 � re� ghters to cook and serve. “We also have other volunteers like wives, girlfriends, brothers and sisters,” said Bates. “We give them letters of recommendation that show that they helped out the � re department.”
Overall, the pancake breakfast is a great start to the Independence Day celebration and can be a good source of carbohydrates for those participat-ing in the Peddle, Paddle, Puff Triath-lon, which will take off from Haller Park at 10 a.m.

ARLINGTON — This year’s Arlington Frontier Days kick off with a heavy work-out. The Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce is hosting the Peddle, Paddle, Puff Triathlon as one of the first events of the Fourth of July.
Registration begins at 8 a.m. on July 4, and the triathlon be-gins at 10 a.m. at Haller Park.
“Mainly this is a fun, local event,” said Rob Putnam, the triathlon director. “Everybody who is competing, is compet-ing against somebody they know.”
The bikers leave from Haller Park and ride 5.8 miles along State Route 530 to Jordan Road and the Jordan River Trail Park boat launch. From there, competitors hop into their kayaks or canoes to row six miles down the Stilla-guamish River back to Haller Park. After that, the runners take off to race for one mile down Centennial Trail and back to the finish line. The total distance is 15.8 miles. “It’s like a mini-triathlon,”
said Putnam.The race hosts five catego-
ries — Family, Local, Open, Iron Woman and Iron Man.
“The Iron Man and Iron Woman racers compete in all three legs,” said Putnam. Those who register in the other categories can tap hands with other racers if they choose to compete in only one leg of the race.
Most people who compete
do not preregister although registering before the day of the race is an option. Rules, regulations and registration forms can be retrieved from the city of Arlington website.
“Last year, one person preregistered, but we had 33 entries the day of the race,” said Putnam. In 2011, there were eight Iron Men, three Iron Women, seven open competitors, 10 locals and five
families.Participants must meet
all criteria under the rules and regulations in order to win prizes and awards. Cash prizes will be awarded to the first-place winner in each division.
“There’s a $100 dollar prize for first place in each catego-ry,” said Putnam. If there are less than three teams in any one category, the prize money
will be limited to the entry fee amount.
Individual entry fees are $30 and team fees are $60. Safety is enforced by the Arlington Heights Fire Department and city of Arlington Fire Depart-ment during the water leg of the triathlon. The Arlington Police Department will assist in blocking off a portion of the road for the cycling leg of the race.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the addi-tion of a new afternoon celebration for the Fourth of July.
“Since all the busi-nesses and restaurants will be closed, the Chamber is bring-ing in four to six food vendors who will sell to the public,” said Mary Jane Harmon, an event organizer. The food prepared for the public is typical carnival fare and includes roasted corn, barbecue, tacos and burritos, shaved ice and kettle corn.
Apple and cherry pie slices, cotton candy, caramel apples, T-shirts and balloons will be for sale by the Chamber of Commerce.
“We also hope to put on display historical pic-tures of Arlington in the gazebo,” said Harmon.
The food booths will be open from about 1 p.m.. until after the Grand Parade. The Chamber’s booths and activities will continue until 7 p.m.
“We’ll have carnival food, face painting and games,” said Heather Logan, who is coordi-nating the parade. The free games for children include traditional games such as knock-ing over milk cans, Ping
Pong, several different hoop toss games, “Go Fish” and more. “These will all be located in the parking lot in between City Hall and Legion Park,” said Harmon.
That’s not all. On the lawn at Legion Park will be two free bouncy houses and a bubble pool for kids to put their wands in to blow bubbles.
After the Grand Parade, kids can par-ticipate in relay races including a potato sack race, balloon relay race,
a spoon race and more. The Police Department and Fire Department will fight a tug-of-war as well.
“The younger crowd will really enjoy this,” said Logan. “We are keeping it small scale to see how the public responds.”
Event organizers had heard from attendees in previous years that they did not like driving home between events to eat lunch. “Now there’s something to do in between,” said Logan.

ARLINGTON — The Arling-ton Kiwanis Club is set to con-duct its annual July 4 auctions at Haller Park to support local high school students.
The event includes two silent auctions — one at 8:30 a.m. and another at 10 a.m. — as well as a live auction set for noon.
The Arlington Kiwanis Club added an early silent auction to the Arlington Fourth of July Frontier Days Celebration three years ago. According to Ki-wanis Club secretary Katie Ellis, this year’s auction will feature dozens of unique and intriguing items.
Auction items range from an-tique furniture, a Rat City Roller Girls gift basket and tickets, an estate planning certificate from Steve Peiffle, wine baskets, Mariners and AquaSox tickets, a Deception Pass boat tour, an Argosy Cruise on Lake Washing-ton, a certificate for a massage, a computer tune-up certificate, a framed needlepoint picture, jewelry, lunch with John Koster and cheesecakes made by Kay Duskin. Most of the items origi-
nate from local businesses and residents.
Each year, an American flag flies over the U.S. Capitol in honor of a local citizen upon the request of Arlington’s U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, and each year it is put up for bid at the Kiwanis auctions. The flag also comes with an authentication certificate and the winning bidder chooses who it flies to honor.
Arlington Kiwanis auctions have been a part of the July 4 celebrations in Arlington for more than 15 years. They started across the street from the Arling-ton-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce, back when its offices were located near Legion Park.
Now, the venue is Haller Park, which is also the site of the Ar-lington Firefighters Association Pancake Breakfast and the start of the Peddle, Paddle, Puff Tri-athlon. In one location, those in-terested in being fully immersed in Arlington’s Independence Day activities can eat a pancake breakfast, bid on a unique item and get a great work out all before noon.

ARLINGTON — The boys and girls of Arlington will have yet another opportu-nity to upstage their elders this Fourth of July.
The Cascade Valley Hos-pital and Clinics are again working with the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce to present the annual Independence Day Kiddies Parade for Arling-ton on July 4, which gives kids 12 years and younger the chance to wave to cheer-ing crowds along Olympic Avenue.
Kiddies Parades in years past have attracted more than 100 young entrants each, and Chamber President Heather Logan wouldn’t be surprised to see this year’s Kiddies Pa-rade match that participa-tion level, especially given the numbers of last-minute entries that both the Kid-
dies and Grand parades routinely attract.
Jennifer Egger, who works with Logan at Cascade Val-ley Hospital, is coordinating the lion’s share of both pa-rades for the first time this year, but attendees and par-ticipants alike can expect all the same sign-up times and categories of entries as in the events’ previous years.
The three themes kids can choose from are “Costumes,” “Patriotic” and “Wheels.” In years past, kids have decorated their bikes, donned creative costumes, and marched or rode down the parade path.
Registration for the Kid-dies Parade will take place at 3:30 p.m. at the Public Utility District building located at 210 Division St., before the parade lines up and proceeds southbound on Olympic Avenue stat-
ing at 4:30 p.m., with just enough time for prizes to be awarded that the Grand Parade can follow starting at 5 p.m. As many as 50 volunteers are anticipated to be on site to coordinate registration, judge entrants and supervise the order in which participants will make their procession through downtown Arling-ton.
Printable copies of registration forms can be downloaded off the city of Arlington website, at www.arlingtonwa.gov, or the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce website, at www.arlington-smokeypointchamber.com. Logan also recommends that prospective entrants call Egger at 360-618-7848, or stop by the reception desk of the Cascade Valley Hospital to register.
Children of all ages love Kiddies Parade

ARLINGTON — It’s not every day that a 10-year-old boy gets to wear a complete police uniform and enforce the law. But that’s how it is for Kody Cunningham, a fifth-grade student at Presidents Elementary, who is this year’s Fourth of July Grand Marshal and Arlington Police Chief for a Day.
Cunningham is an active and smart boy who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was only five weeks old.
His mom, Lynnea Shepard, was upset when she found out, but since then his treatment has become a part of his daily life.
“We are very fortunate to live so close to Chil-dren’s Hospital,” said Shepard. “He goes about four times a year and he actually loves it.”
Cunningham is excit-
ed when he has appoint-ments because he likes to visit the other patients and talk to doctors and nurses.
“He is an amazing kid,” said Shepard. “The doctors love him, the nurses love him. He can recite all his medicines and when he takes them.”
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive sys-tem of about 30,000 chil-dren and adults in the United States, according to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The average life expectancy of a per-son with cystic fibrosis is 37 years, according to Shepard.
“But that doesn’t mean they can’t live to be 100 years old,” she said.
When Shepard heard about the Chief for a
Day nomination, she was initially unsure. “I didn’t want him to be singled out for having cystic fibrosis. His treat-ments are a routine and he has no limitations,” said Shepard.
Cunningham has not let his diagnosis slow him in the slightest. He plays soccer, baseball and basketball. He loves riding his bike, play-ing video games and is learning to play the guitar. He is already planning to play sports at the University of Washington and study marine biology or archi-tecture.
It was during bas-ketball practice that Cunningham found out that he was going to the Arlington Police Chief for a Day.
“One of the sergeants went out to his bas-ketball practice to tell
him and he was really excited,” said Arlington Chief of Police Nelson Beazley.
This is the first year that the Arlington Police Department has par-ticipated in the Chief for a Day program which gives a local child with a serious illness a chance to be a part of the police force. “I’m glad I said yes, because he is hav-ing so much fun,” said Shepard.
Chief Beazley agreed. “Kody has been a lot of fun,” said Beazley, who has had Cunningham in the station several times to prepare him for his police duties. Cunning-ham was even fitted for a police uniform. As an extra part of his police duties, Beazley invited Cunningham to lead the Fourth of July Grand Pa-rade with him this year.
“It isn’t really part
of Chief for a Day, but I wanted him to par-ticipate with me,” said Beazley.
When festival orga-nizer Heather Logan was searching for some-one to be named Grand Marshal, she heard about Cunningham, and about his battle with cystic fibrosis.
“I thought, he sounds like a great kid, why don’t we name him Grand Marshal?” said Logan.
Cunningham will have the opportunity to ride down the parade route twice. “He will go down once with the police department and then come back around as the Grand Marshal in a beautiful convertible,” said Logan. “If I was a little kid, I’d think that was the cat’s meow.”
“Kody just loves this. It’s really cool,” said
Shepard. “He just thinks it’s the coolest.”
On Aug. 16, Cun-ningham and Shepard will join Beazley and other members of the Arlington Police Depart-ment at the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission in Burien for a full day of activities and demon-strations.

June 29, 1967 — Arlington will honor two of its pioneer citizens on the Fourth of July. Leading the Old Glory Days Parade as honorary grand marshals will be Calvin L. Marsh, pioneer newspaper publisher, and Mose E. Waterman, pioneer logger and veteran of the Spanish American War. An official car will call for the pioneers before the parade and return them to their homes afterwards. Marsh, 94, was born March 18, 1873 near Pennsboro, W. Va., coming to Washington in 1891. He bought the Haller City Times from George Morrill. It was published in a room of the old Walker House. In 1896 the newspaper plant was moved to Arlington and renamed The Arlington Times. Marsh retired as editor in 1945. Waterman, 90, was born in Indiana, on Nov. 30, 1877. He served with the 35th Michigan Company A Volunteers in the Spanish American War coming to the Arlington in 1905. He married an Arlington girl, Christie O. Smith (daughter of pioneers Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith) and went to work as a logger in Darrington. Both men are members of the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Association.

ARLINGTON — Marching bands, football teams and dance squads have all participated in Arling-ton Fourth of July Grand Parade in years past.
Event organizers expect this year’s Inde-pendence Day Grand Parade to offer much the same eclectic collec-tion of entrants, who are scheduled to begin their jaunt down Olympic Avenue beginning at 5 p.m. on July 4.
Heather Logan, presi-dent of the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce, noted that the Chamber is again coordinating with the Cascade Valley Hos-pital and Clinics to stage both the Grand Parade and the Kiddies Parade
immediately preceding it. Jennifer Egger, with whom Logan works at the Cascade Valley Hospital, has taken the lead in putting together both parades, and is excited that this year’s Grand Parade will fea-ture a few anniversaries for some of the event’s most reliable attendees.
“The Mission Pipe Band originally formed 50 years ago in 1962 as a Royal Canadian Legion band. Its connection with Arlington goes back 25 years to 1987, when it participated in its first Fourth of July parade right on Olym-pic Avenue. It hasn’t missed an event since,” said Barry Johnston of the Mission Pipe band, who added that this
year’s Grand Parade would be Bill Dow’s last time performing with the band, after 32 years as its musical director and pipe-major. “It is fitting that Bill’s final performance with the band should be here in Arlington, as the band members have always considered the town’s Fourth of July parade their favorite venue.”
Another honored guest at this year’s Grand Parade will be its Grand Marshal Kody Cunningham, a fifth-grade student at Presi-dent’s Elementary who was diagnosed with cys-tic fibrosis when he was only five weeks old, who has also been named Arlington’s Police Chief for a Day.
As for the more than 100 other entrants that each year’s Grand Parade usually attracts, Logan believes that the more creative a given entrant is, the more strongly and fondly they will be remembered.
“The crowd loves a show,” Logan said. “They really appreciate all the entries, but for the Fourth of July in Arling-ton, more is definitely more,” she laughed.
Logan noted that the small-town feel for which Arlington is praised by a number of residents and visitors alike is balanced by the diversity of participants and attendees that events such as its Fourth
of July parades attract.“You see a good mix
of old friends and new faces at the Grand Parade,” Logan said. “It’s always great fun.”
Registration for the Grand Parade runs from 2:30-4:30 p.m. at the Public Utility District building located at 210 Division St. Entrants cannot participate if they aren’t registered by 4:30 p.m. As many as 50 volunteers are anticipated to be on site to coordinate registra-tion, judge entrants and supervise the order in which participants will make their procession through downtown Arlington.
Printable copies of
registration forms can be downloaded off the city of Arlington web-site, at www.arlingtonwa.gov, or the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce website, at www.arlington-smokey-pointchamber.com. Logan also recommends that prospective entrants call Egger at 360-618-7848, or stop by the reception desk of the Cascade Val-ley Hospital to register.
An entry fee of $100 will be charged for par-ticipation by any political entry or person running for office in the upcom-ing election, while a $25 fee will be charged for all commercial entries. All other entrants may register for free.

Grand Parade offers family fun

ARLINGTON — While ongo-ing economic doldrums have impacted a number of other charities, the Rotary Club of Arlington has seen little change in the giving that’s been done through their annual Fourth of July “Duck Dash,” which is once again set to launch thousands of yellow rubber duckies into the Stillaguamish River from Lin-coln Bridge at 7:30 p.m., weather permitting.
“The Arlington community hasn’t had any hiccups in sup-port for this event,” said Dale Duskin, ticket sales chair for the Duck Dash. “In fact, I believe that last year was our biggest ever in terms of fundraising.”
Duskin described the Duck Dash as an activity with which the Arlington community has al-ready become very familiar, ever since it was started in 1987 to supply the funds that Arlington Rotarians had pledged toward the construction of a community youth center to house an Arling-ton Boys & Girls Club.
“Just about everyone is already well aware what these funds are used for,” Duskin said. “They’re all great charities and causes, and 100 percent of those monies stay right here in the Arlington community.”
From its inception on up through last year, the Arling-ton Duck Dash has already raised more than $600,000 for the Arlington Food Bank, the Stillaguamish Senior Center, the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, and the city of Arlington’s parks, trails and play fields, as well as the Arlington Cocoon House, Kids Kloset, Little League and Boys & Girls Club. Those same Duck Dash proceeds have also funded scholarships for Arlington, Lakewood and Darrington students, as well as Arlington school drama, music and robot-ics clubs.
“I think we’ll be approach-ing $1 million within the next couple of years,” Duskin said. “Sales of Duck Dash tickets have
gone up every year, and thanks to our sponsors, 100 percent of every ticket sale goes toward those charities and causes. None of it is subsidizing the activities themselves.”
This year’s Gold Sponsors are the Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics and the Cascade Skagit Health Alliance, while this year’s Silver Sponsors are Dwayne Lane’s Chevrolet and the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indi-ans.
As always, the numbered ducks will finish their “dash” at Haller Park. Cash awards of $5,000 will go to the first-place finisher, $2,000 to second place, $1,000 to third and $100 to the fourth- through 10th-place finishers. The 11th- through 20th-place finishers will receive free Duck Dash T-shirts.
Tickets can be purchased at the Arlington Pharmacy or at Haller Park after the Grand Parade. For more information, log onto www.greatstillyduckdash.com.

Duck Dash raises funds for community
July 1, 1992 — Dashing Ducks, exploding fireworks and a parade that really lives up to its description — “grand.” It’s all here and more. It’s the big week of the Stillaguamish Valley Frontier Days. This year’s celebration, which started last weekend with a kiddies parade, softball tournament and a fun run, is gearing up for a slam-bam finish this weekend. With a time commitment from a large number of volunteers, this year’s event is bigger than ever, and it included the first professional fireworks demonstration in recent memory. Frontier Days’ crescendo is Saturday, starting with the unique Paddle, Pedal, Puff Triathlon and ending with a spectacular display of fireworks at dusk. In between there is everything from a police auction and a farmers market. A special feature of this year’s Frontier Days is the combined spon-sorship of the Great Stilly Duck Dash, where thousands of yellow rubber ducks will race madly down the Stillaguamish River. The North Snohomish Rotary Club has combined forces with the Frontier Days Committee to run the event. The holder of a ticket matching the fastest duck will win $5,000 in cash. Proceeds of this year’s duck dash will support Frontier Days, as well as fund youth programs throughout the area.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce is stocked and loaded for its annual Indepen-dence Day fireworks gala.
Armed with more than $5,000 worth of pyrotechnics, the Chamber will continue its grand celebration by setting off a wide range of fireworks into the skies above the Arling-ton Boys & Girls Club
on July 4. According to Cham-
ber President Heather Logan, the bright lights and loud explosions will kick off at around 9 p.m. at Quake Field, just after dark. She estimates that it will last approximately 20-30 minutes in front of what should be a sizable crowd.
“We usually get sev-eral hundred people parked in the lots and
on the sides of the surrounding streets, so they can set up their chairs and watch,” Logan said. “It’s just a perfect way to end a fabulous day of Fourth of July activities.”
Logan has received feedback from a num-ber of attendees of the Arlington fireworks show indicating that it’s one of their fa-vorite Fourth of July fireworks displays of
anywhere that they’ve attended.
“I’d heard from a lot of folks who like that it’s closer to where they live and easier to find parking than in Seattle or even Ever-ett,” Logan said. “It’s the crown jewel in our day-long celebration of America. Nobody does America better than Arlington.”
The Arlington Fourth of July fireworks are jointly funded by the Rotary Club of Ar-lington, which kicks in $5,000, and the Ar-lington-Smokey Point Chamber of Com-merce, whose $250 contribution comes from tax revenues that it receives from hotels and motels in order to purchase fireworks and other supplies for the event.

July 4, 1957 — The most elaborate parade ever staged in Arlington will head Independence Day events on July 4th, when an outstanding assembly of bands and floats, both local and visiting, will be on display, according to parade chairman John Jensen, Commander of the Arlington American Legion Post, sponsoring the four-day celebration. The parade entries will assemble on the north end of Olympic Avenue, where the grand parade will get underway at 2 p.m., July 4. The parade route will run the length of Olympic Avenue, after which all floats and bands will proceed yo Hal-lock field, where float awards will be made. This year a “sweepstakes” winner will be announced in the float competition, with a prize of $50 to be awarded.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Fly-In runs from July 11-15, and offers its “Kids Day” again on July 12, during which all children accompa-nied by adults are admitted for free. Activities begin at 10 a.m. and are set to include flight simulators, candy air-plane making, face painting, helicopters, “Bubble Mania” and the Arlington High School Robotics Club. While all groups and individual families are welcome, those with more than five children can make advance reserva-tions by calling 360-435-5857.
The kids’ activity tents will remain open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 11-14, and air shows will run at the Fly-In from 2-5 p.m., on July 12-14, showcasing the talents of veteran pilots Ken Fowler, Eric Hansen, John Mrazek, Will Allen, Hans von der Hofen, Paul Hajduk and Vicki Benzing.
The air show on July 13 will be followed by a vintage
aircraft fly-by and military vehicle pass-and-review parade.
As in previous years, the Arlington Airport’s 25-foot outdoor movie screen will play family-rated movies on July 11-14, starting at dusk sometime between 9:30-10 p.m. The movies on July 11 will be “Air Racer,” July 12 will be “Flyabout,” July 13 will be “The Dish” and July 14 will be “Red Tails.”
In keeping with the latter film, a history of the Tuskegee Airman will be presented by Tommy Lamb, from noon to 1 p.m., on July 13 and 14 in the Warbird area of the Fly-In.
The Warbird area will also host veteran U.S. Air Force B-17 waist-gunner Art Unruh sharing his experiences from 11 a.m. to noon on July 12 and 13, and Vietnam Army medic Mark Snyder doing the same from 11 a.m. to noon on July 14.
Fly-In lands at Arlington Airport July 11-15
July 15, 1987 — It all began back in 1970 when a group of pilots converged on the Arlington Airport with their aircraft. The gathering, originated by a Seattle couple and other members of the Experimental Aircraft Association, has grown into what is now the third largest event of its kind — the Northwest Experimental Aircraft As-sociation’s Fly-In and Convention that will draw over 1,000 aircraft, modern, antique and classic, to the 18th annual get-together scheduled this weekend, July 17-19, at the Arlington Airport. There will be precision flying demonstrations, a fly-by, visiting dignitaries and top ranked pilots, displays that will include the world’s only flying F-86A Sabrejet, aerobatics, and three forum tents where programs concerning all aspects of aviation and aviation safety will be presented. In order to ensure the suc-cess of the Fly-In, hundreds of hours of work have gone into planning and organizing the weekend event with local merchants, businesses, volunteers, the Airport staff and commission, city of Arlington and, of course, the nearly 1,000 pilots who are associ-ated with the EAA.

From 10-11 a.m. on July 14, James H. Keefe will present “Two Gold Coins and a Prayer” in the Warbird area, recounting the experi-ences of his father, B-24 bomber pilot Lt. James Keefe, Jr., as a World War II bomber pilot and POW.
“You always meet a lot of interesting people at the Fly-In,” said Leslee Graves, who’s since become one of the youth volunteer leaders for the Fly-In. “When you talk to the veterans and old pilots, they have so much knowledge and wisdom to share. It’s just awesome.”
On July 12, “Workshop Wednesday” aircraft building demonstra-tions will cover a wide range of topics, includ-ing fabric covering, riv-eting, composite, wood and metal rib fabrica-tion, and a demonstra-tion of a water-cooled Volkswagen engine.
“That’s very attrac-tive not only to those who already know their airplanes, but also just the general public, if you’re curious about woodworking or current technology,” said Janie Brown, manager of air-craft registration for the Fly-In. “With our as-sortment of workshops, forums and exhibits like the military vehicles, we really try to hit on everyone’s interests.”
“I knew nothing
about airplanes when I first started volunteer-ing here two years ago,” Graves said. “It’s been a really cool experience to learn about all the work that goes into the air-craft, and the Warbirds and other artifacts are great to “
On July 13, “Vintage Day” will showcase 1920s and ‘30s era air-craft, including displays by North Cascades Vintage Aero Museum in the red barn, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., while live music is set to kick off at 6 p.m.
On July 14, the Fly-In Car Show will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., featuring planes, trac-tors and automobiles — the latter including antiques, classics and hot rods — with live music playing in the background all day. The aircraft judging awards will be presented at 5:15 p.m. and followed by a live performance by the Mukilteo Outrageous Jazz Orchestra at 7 p.m.
“We’ll have an en-tertainment tent set up for all the live bands,” Brown said. “Our goal is to get about 250 cars, depending on the weather, and given how much support we’ve seen for local car shows even with bad weather, I’m pretty confident we’ll draw at least 200-plus.”
Angel Flight will present “Helping Your Community Using Your Flying and Non-Flying Skills” by Christian
Holtz from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Forum Tent B on July 12 and 13, and in Forum Tent A on July 14. Angel Flight pro-vides free, non-emer-gency air travel and transport for children and adults with serious medical conditions and other compelling needs. For more information, log onto www.angel-flightwest.org.
The Mission Avia-tion Training Academy will offer “Opportuni-ties Presented” by Dary Finck from 12:45-1:45 p.m., on July 13 and 14, in Forum Tent C. This forum will address the role of aviation in evan-gelical and humanitar-
ian mission work in many remote areas of the world, where other transportation modes may not be available or practical. It’s also set to include the trans-portation challenges of isolated and develop-ing areas, as well as the many and varied opportunities for pilots, aircraft mechanics and aviation specialists in this field. For more information, log onto www.mata-usa.org.
Live tank demon-strates are set to take place on July 13 and 14, and the Fly-In’s mul-titude of events will conclude with the Sat-urday evening “Hot Air
Balloon Night Glow” on July 14. Event organizers encourage attendees to arrive before 8 p.m. to pick up their tickets.
“That’s absolutely fantastic for the whole family,” Brown said. “It’s really neat to watch them light up.”
Shuttles will run between the Arlington Airport and downtown Arlington from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on July 13 and 14.
“Those shuttles have a great impact on our downtown,” said Julie Tate, vice president of the Downtown Arlington Business Association. “While the husbands are checking out the aircraft, the wives can come see
what Arlington’s busi-nesses are all about, which will hopefully encourage them to shop local and buy local.”
Whether attendees arrive by land or air, the Arlington Airport has set aside a camping area for campers and trailers, complete with showers and restrooms, so that they can simply stay on site from July 11 through their departure on July 15.
“I wish I’d started go-ing to the Fly-In sooner,” Graves said. “It offers so many opportunities.”

ARLINGTON — Great live music, delicious food and family activities can all be found at the 22nd annual Ar-lington Street Fair set for July 13-15 in downtown Arlington.
Debbie Whitis, who is also known around town as “The Purse Lady,” is in her second year of chairing the event.
“This year we have all dif-ferent kinds of vendors, with crafts and food,” said Whitis. “Different churches are com-ing too, to set up booths.”
On Friday, July 13, the Street Fair will feature an open mic at Legion Park from 4-6 p.m.
“Anyone can come up to the microphone and tell a joke, recite a poem or bring their guitar and plug it into our amps and play a song,” said Whitis.
Immediately following the open mic session is the an-nual Arlington Idol contest, which is set to begin at 7 p.m., with a 6 p.m. registra-tion time.
“The first-place winner will a $100 cash prize,” said Whitis.
Saturday, June 14, promises just as much as the day be-fore, with Zumba starting at 10 a.m., followed by a magi-cian performance at noon.
“We have a country-west-ern band, Newt Bell, who is very popular, playing at 2 p.m., ” said Whitis. Follow-ing that band’s performance is the Bad Company tribute band playing at 5 p.m.

Street Fair returns to downtown Arlington
July 6, 2005 — Revelry, gaiety, merry making ... that’s what a festival is all about. A celebration marked by fundraising for youth and observances of airplanes, cars, books, art and music, Arlington’s annual festival evolved from the town’s traditional observance of Independence Day when a second week of fun was added in 1989 to include the Arlington Fly-In and the Street Fair, to attract Fly-In visitors into town. The Arlington Street Fair strives to bring the community together for fun, offering an opportunity for performing and visual artists to bring their stuff to North Olympic Avenue to share with others. More than 100 vendors are selling all kinds of things, from recycled-tire floor mats and newspapers, to chair massages, painted wood and jewelry to name just a sampling. Artists will be located in Legion Park this year, for the second annual Art in the Park, where there will be hands-on projects and dem-onstrations, and for children, storytellers, clowns, magicians and jugglers. Visitors should watch closely for surprises, like a fantastic giant fish, that could come around the corner at any time.

July 17, 2002 — The old aviation adage calls it the $100 hamburger. You hop in your plane, pump in about $100 of fuel and go get some lunch at an airport restaurant somewhere else in the Puget Sound area. So, if $100 will get you a hamburger, what will $700 get you? If your answer is simply seven hamburgers, you missed one of the star attractions at this year’s Northwest Experimental Aircraft Association Arling-ton Fly-In. Tied down in a prime spot in front of Iwo Island, the Fly-In’s makeshift World War II outpost, a P-51D beckoned. For $700, Fly-In visitors could buy 15 min-utes in the modified back seat of the P-51, a plane that one of the airshow announcers called “everybody’s favorite warbird.” Several times on Friday, visitors were treated to the distinct rumble of its 1,500-horsepower engine. With a cruising speed of 280 mph, the P-51 was hard to overlook, zipping dramatically through Arlington’s regular flight pattern. One man in the Cascade Warbirds’ tent just behind the P-51 knew firsthand what a thrill the plane could inspire. Rob VanDyke, the exchange officer for the Cascade Warbirds, actually got to ride in the P-51 awhile back.

ARLINGTON — For the past four years, the Arlington Street Fair has hosted an art project for local youths. One year the kids painted rocks, another a mural.
This year, the Arlington Arts Council presents the Youth Art Fair, July 13-14, which features a multitude of art projects in which kids can participate.
“We’ve been doing an art project for youth every year,” said AAC President Sarah Arney. “This is the first year where we are doing all differ-ent projects.”
The Youth Art Fair will have opportunities for chalk art, puppet making, abstract expressionist paintings and more, according to Arney. The Arts Council will have tables set up in the plaza by City Hall and kids can come by anytime to participate. The fair will take place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both days. The tables are run by members of the AAC, who will prepare
and instruct the variety of projects.
“Last year we had a steady stream of kids on Friday and Saturday,” said Arney, who estimated that the art project saw more than 100 children participate.
“We’ve been offering classes in August, but those classes can only hold about 10 kids,” Arney said. “We decided to open it up and have more op-portunities for the kids.”
The mission of the Arling-ton Arts Council is to offer a variety of quality art experi-ences for people of all ages. “We think that this is a good way to reach out to children,” said Arney. “We hope to have another mural project at Art in the Park.”
The Arts Council will also host an Art in the Park event on Sept. 8-9, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Legion Park for people of all ages to view local arts and crafts and listen to live music.
First Youth Art Fair kicks off July 13
