Mason Bee and Chicken Assault !!


Saturday, March 28

At 2:15p.m. Saturday, March 28 after the Farmers Market closes, everyone is invited to Valise Gallery at 17622 Vashon Highway, one door south of Gusto Girls.


We are offering presentations by Jerry Gehrke on “Mason Bees on Vashon: Why, When, and How To” and Amy Beth Holmes and Toby Holmes, along with Sheryl Allen and Grace Hockley on “Having Chickens – a Local Pecking Party Panel.”


Amy Beth Holmes is the owner of Holmestead Farms along with her husband Toby. http://www.holmesteadfarms.com/. Questions are encouraged. Prizes will be awarded for the best chicken and Mason bee imitations.


Valise is a Vashon artist collective of 11 members who have dedicated the last week of each month’s art exhibition to community involvement. Currently, Britt Freda is exhibiting paintings of chickens, bees, and other animals, which sparked the idea for the offering of “Mason Bees and Chickens” to the community. Bring a cushion or folding chair to sit on!


Questions? Call Carol at 567-5907.
