strawberry farming dominated Skagit County and for an excuse to make a giant strawberry shortcake sure to draw a crowd. Duane Stowe of Burlington’s Stowe’s Shoes and Clothing recalls how in the “old days” there was a local strawberry processing plant, now long gone. The event has gone on every year rain or shine right through WWII. As it grew in size and scope, the festival was handed over to the Burlington Chamber of Commerce in 1965 and shortly thereafter re-named “Berry Dairy Days” to reflect

The community recently opened a new space at Railroad Park, the Burlington-Skagit Regional Byway Center, and the festival in the park will be moved there to match up with the grand parade on Fairhaven Avenue. As the community grows and evolves, no doubt there will be other changes as well. This festival has a storied history and it will be interesting to see how future generations take over the reins and make it their own.

the slow decrease in local strawberry farming and the growing influence of dairy business in the area. For at least the last 14 years, Sakuma Brothers Farms has donated strawberries for the strawberry shortcakes sold at the festival to raise money for the Burlington Chamber of Commerce and the Burlington-Edison High School cheerleading squad. The cheerleaders sell the shortcakes for $3 each to raise money for cheer clinics and their custom made uniforms. Strawberry shortcakes will be sold at corresponding events throughout the festival Thursday through Sunday. Sakuma Brothers Farms, located just north of Burlington, has a rich berry growing history in the community dating back to 1915. Current president, Ryan Sakuma, is a fourth generation family member and has taken the company to new heights as an industry leader in research and development and large scale fruit processing and sales. Duane Stowe, owner of Stowe’s Shoes and Clothing in Burlington has attended every festival since he moved to Burlington in 1941. He has seen festival events come and go including a children’s parade and a tractor parade 4

salmon bbq The Burlington-Edison Kiwanis club was founded in 1948 by Fred Stump, a local veteran, and its first president was Clarence Judy. The Kiwanis mission is to serve the children of the world one child, one family and one community at a time and the local chapter has always risen to the occasion in Skagit County. The Salmon BBQ was started by club members in 1949 to raise money for the construction of a local community center; this will be the 64th annual event! The fundraiser was renamed the Fred Stump Memorial BBQ after he passed away. The Kiwanis Club built the Maiben Park BBQ pit in the mid 1960s and per tradition, the BBQ will be held there all day Saturday, June 15th from 11:30am-5pm even though the festival is moving to Railroad Park. To go meals will be available at the new Railroad Park location during the festival. The club will also be hosting the 10th annual Friday night BBQ at the Skagit River Park soccer fields from 5-dusk to coincide with the live music and fireworks show. The Kiwanis Club built the BBQ pit at the Skagit River Park soccer fields in 2010. About 1300 to 1500 pounds of Salmon are served every year in the two day event. To go orders are delivered to businesses on Saturday who want to feed their employees and support the cause. The meal includes char-broiled salmon with secret sauce, baked potato with sour cream and butter on the side, coleslaw, dinner roll, beverage and an orange/white Dixie cup ice cream The BBQ is the Kiwanis Club’s biggest annual fundraiser. The money raised goes to support Kiwanis club charitable contributions including $11,000 worth of scholarships to the Burlington-Edison High School, funding the Key Club (High School chapter of Kiwanis) and various local senior and children’s charities. The cost of the meal is $12 for adults and $6 for kids under 12. 8

berry dairy run Race Fees: 1/2 Marathon w/ Finisher Medal: Pre-registration $30 Same-day registration $35 10K: Pre-registration $15 Same-day registration $20 2-Mile: Pre-registration $12 Same-day registration $15 Commemorative T-shirts: $15 (limited supply) *T-shirts not included in race fees Like many other events at Berry Dairy Days, the Berry Dairy Run has a long history founded by a local community member. The race was started in the late 1970s by Duane Stowe, owner of Stowe’s Shoes and Clothing. His original vision was to support the Burlington-Edison track team as his kids were high school track runners at that time. As Duane’s kids grew up and he became more involved in other festival events, the Burlington Parks and Recreation department took over the race in 1997. The parks department ran the race through 2010 but decided to place their focus on the large Friday evening soccer tournament and fireworks presentation, handing over the reins to local, wellrespected running enthusiasts Chris Whan and Kevin Ryan in 2011. On Saturday, June 15th races begin at 8:30am on the corner of Oak Street and

Fairhaven Avenue. Race organizers are expecting approximately 500 participants from all around the region including local running enthusiasts and experienced marathoners. The races have been certified since 2008, creating a bigger draw among serious runners. Over the years, the running routes have changed multiple times. The original runs were four and seven miles long along Pulver Road. Next, the runs changed to out and back on Anacortes Street. The USATF certified 10k and 2 mile fun run go out and back along Fairhaven Avenue to Gardner Street and have been following this route for the last decade. The USATF certified half marathon runs flat along the scenic Skagit River Dike; it was added two years ago and has doubled its participation each year. All finishers receive medals. Race organizers are thankful for great cooperation from the

Dike District in the half marathon event effort. Official race times are recorded and posted on www.berrydairyruns.com. Visit www.berrydairyruns.com/photos_ from_course to see pictures of the half marathon course. The 2013 Official Sponsor is Sakuma Brothers who has sponsored the race for the past ten years, providing end of race berries and support. Race fees go to support local Track and Cross Country Teams who assist in course marshalling and management of the race. The participating schools have brought a lot of pride to the community, historically winning state team cross country titles for the past eight years.

What is a community festival without a grand parade to celebrate local talent and organizations? The 2013 Berry Dairy Days Fred Meyer Grand Parade will run along Fairhaven Avenue, downtown Burlington at 11am on Saturday, June 15th. Post-race awards and announcements are scheduled at Railroad Park at 1pm located at 520 East Fairhaven Avenue between Oak and Cherry Streets. That’s right, the festival will be held next to the parade so you can wander down and enjoy the awards ceremony and the festival without moving your car. Long time organizer, the Burlington Chamber of Commerce and sponsor Fred Meyer will be 10

continuing their roles. Burlington-Edison High School has traditionally provided a lot of talent and will provide performers amongst the floats. In good weather, there are often thousands of spectators to see the 70-80 floats and performances including marching bands, drill and dance teams, 4-H clubs, local gymnasts, dancers, musi-

cians and representatives from many local businesses, organizations and civic groups. This year’s Grand Marshall is Helen Doyle, former City Council Member for the City of Burlington. Returning judges are David Bricka of Country Meadow Village, Edie Edmundson, City Council Member for the City of Burlington, Greg

car show America’s love of cars stretches back more than 100 years but it started from shaky beginnings with unreliable, windup engines and a lack of safety features. The start of the 20th century saw the introduction of the first mass produced and dependable vehicles like the “curved dash” Oldsmobile and the Model T Ford. The automobile industry spurred innovation and creativity, benefitting from thousands of inventions starting with assembly lines and tougher tires to automatic windshield wipers and car radios. These advances paved the way for more modern vehicles. Returning from WWII to peace time and prosperity, the Greatest Generation was ready for the shiny, luxury Corvette of the 1950s. The sporty, affordable and versatile Mustang introduced at the New York World’s Fair in 1964 captured the Baby Boomers as they came of age; through its affordability, Mustangs created the start of the “two car family”. A whole range of American cars caught our hearts and imaginations and long before computers ran engines, many were enthralled to look under the hood, get a little grease on their hands and learn how these cars ran and how to keep them running. After decades of stable and low gas prices, the 1970s saw big, gas guzzling cars and station wagons on the market. These vehicles became impractical as gas prices rose and in the 1980s Japanese car makers began flooding the US market with smaller, lesselaborate family cars. The minivan also became a family staple after its American launch in 1983 but was soon upended by our love of SUVs and SUV crossovers. The increasing cost of oil has affected the way cars are designed as consumers demand higher gas mileage. Car manufacturers are always striving to find a balance between affordability, reliability and appeal in their new vehicles most recently shown in the re-introduction of Hybrid and electric cars. The one constant in the car industry is the tre14

mendous excitement and anticipation for new cars each year. There seems to be so much in store for the future of American cars, particularly with discussion of selfdriving vehicles not too far into the future. Celebrating the love and history of the automobile, car shows draw thousands to events throughout the country. The 12th Annual Berry Cool Car Show will be held this Father’s Day, Sunday, June 16th, 2013 from 10am-3pm on Fairhaven Ave. Whether you’re a true car enthusiast, have an interest in America’s car history or you’re coming along for Dad, you won’t be disappointed. There are always a wide range of vehicles on show from beautiful classics to muscle cars and everything in between. The Berry Cool Car Show was started by local friends Garner Benson, former president of the Skagit Old Car Club and Les Tokarchuk, then president of the North Cascades Street Rod Association (NCSRA) to showcase their love of cars, draw car lovers from all over the region and create a special community event within the festival. The two friends participate in and enjoy the show to this day with Garner noting that it’s “…a lot of fun…its work but it’s satisfying.” The show is free to peruse or participate but is organized and financially supported by the NCSRA. Raffle tickets purchased at the event with prizes donated by local sponsors also contribute to the show’s success. The money raised and donated goes toward entry fees and

sponsors contributions to scholarship funds at the Skagit Community College’s Auto Technology Program to help support the next generation of car enthusiasts and mechanics. Local Merchants on Fairhaven Ave. sponsor the show, staying open during the event and donating funding for the trophies. New this year is the Trainwreck Bar & Grill; the Blueberry Café (formerly the Fairhaven Café), Café Burlington and Stowe’s Shoes & Clothing are all original sponsors. Since the show’s start and returning for another year as the number one sponsor is Pat Rimmer of Les Schwab Tire center, located on Burlington Blvd. Each year 150-200 car owners take part in the show with participants and spectators coming from all over the region including British Columbia and all across Western Washington State. First, second and third place trophies are awarded to each class, voted on by all show participants. Show classes include 1929 and older, 70s and newer, Best Truck, Best Custom and Best Oddball. Special trophies are awarded by local judges handpicked the day of the show for their love of and knowledge of cars. Special categories include: Best Paint, Best Interior, Best Engine, Best Street Rod, Best Corvette and Best in Show. Don’t miss this year’s car show; you will love the community spirit and wide range of beautiful, historic and very interesting cars.
