Belfair's "Taste of Hood Canal"

On the second weekend in August, the North Mason community gathers together to celebrate the "Taste of Hood Canal." This event combines a host of mouth-watering food booths, wine-tasting, vendors, a chain-saw carving exhibition, live music, entertainers and vintage cars. In addition, there are exhibits focusing on the nature of Hood Canal, with hands-on activities for young and old.

This year, the event will take place on Saturday, August 9 from 10am to 4pm on Clifton Lane in the heart of downtown Belfair. Clifton Lane will be closed to normal traffic during those hours.

Festival-goers will want to bring their appetites, as the "Taste" will feature fresh grilled oysters, steamed clams and mussels, Guatemalan chicken tamales, strawberry shortcake and much more.

One of the highlights of the event is the Classic Car Show. With summer weather that Saturday likely to be sunny and lovely, the car show attracts upwards of 150 vintage and perfectly restored classic automobiles. Last year attendance was estimated at somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 people.

The North Mason Rotary Club is the sponsor for this event. The Rotary Club's share of the proceeds will go to provide scholarships, mini-grants for various community projects and Rotary community service projects.
