The Museum of the North Beach will be hosting its third annual Heritage Fair from 4-7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5, at the Ocean Shores Convention Center.

This year’s “Celebration of Life, Art and History” highlights the historical life of prolific writer and story teller Gene Woodwick, who was instrumental in the creation of the Coastal Interpretive Center in Ocean Shores. “Her indomitable spirit inspired all who gathered around her for her treasured stories.”

Many of her personal items and photographs will be on display. Dann Sears from the Aberdeen Museum of History is guest speaker.

The Heritage Fair features a live and silent auction, with many artistic, decorative and collectible items up for bid. The auctions are specifically for the New Museum Building Project. The Museum is working to bring back a wonderful piece of history in the form of the landmark Northern Pacific Railway Moclips Depot. This replica will be the new home for the Museum of the North Beach.

Other highlights of this event include a catered buffet of grilled salmon with blackberry sauce, baron of beef, tossed field green salad, roasted rosemary red potatoes, assorted cakes and a no-host bar. Musical entertainment will be provided by pianist Donovan Scott.

The live auction will be conducted by professional auctioneer John Fox. A featured item in the live auction is an exceptional Elton Bennett matted and framed serigraph titled, “Sea Birds Cry” valued at $1,500.

Tickets are $35 per person, and must be ordered by July 30. Checks should be made out to MBTS. Mail to: Museum of the North Beach, PO Box 231, Moclips, WA 98562. For more information call the Museum at (360) 276-4441 or email lee@moclips.org.
