The Enumclaw Garden Club’s annual fundraiser for conservation projects, Breakfast for the Birds, is scheduled for Feb. 17 at the Enumclaw High School commons. Doors open at 9 a.m. to ticket holders. A breakfast catered by The Kettle Restaurant will be served at 10 a.m. The theme for this year’s breakfast is “Rockin’ and a Boppin’ With the Birds.”
Each year, breakfast participants don homemade hats, which are later judged by a panel of community members. The hat parade categories are: Bye Bye Blackbird (basic black a must), Rockin’ Robin (make a hat that moves), Lullaby of Birdland (pastels for the babies), Flamingo (island/Florida attire encouraged), Cuckoo’s Nest (outrageous and/or colorful) and Fly Like an Eagle (feel the freedom).
Each year, a guest speaker provides gardening information. This year’s guest will be Ed Hume. Hume is celebrating his 42nd year as a gardening personality. His weekly television show is the longest continuous-running gardening television show in North America and possibly in the world. He also has a weekly radio show and has written for various local, regional and national publications.
There is also a silent auction and raffle at the event.
Tickets are $15. For ticket information, call Lynette Knapp 360-802-0268 or Sue Smith 360-802-0751.
