AUGUST 2003


Dozens came to Lighthouse Park July 19 for some good old fashioned fun at the Point Roberts Day picnic, sponsored by the Friends of the Library and the Historical Society. Nielson’s Building Center sponsored a hoop-rolling race. Members of the Historical Society and guests re-enacted the famous picnic of 1908, where Point Roberts pioneer women waited with feasts in their baskets to celebrate the return of the men from Seattle, bearing the title that meant they could keep their farms.
