This House is a new play by James Graham.  It’s 1974 and the corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain’s political parties battle to change the future of the nation, whatever it takes. In this hung parliament, the ruling party holds on by a thread. Votes are won and lost by one, fist fights erupt in the bars, and ill MPs are hauled in to cast their votes.  It’s a time when a staggering number of politicians die, and age–old traditions and allegiances are thrown aside in the struggle for power.

James Graham’s biting, energetic and critically–acclaimed new play strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes who roll up their sleeves, and on occasion bend the rules, to manoeuvre a diverse and conflicting chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments.  Show time:  7:30 p.m.

The popular, annual Bite of Orcas showcases the specialties of Orcas Island chefs on the Village Green from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and benefits Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

This is one of Orcas Islands most beloved and anticipated events: the Pet Parade. Sponsored by the Kaleidoscope Childcare Center, last year’s parade was filled with over 100 furry, feathered and scaled entrants. Everything from tadpoles to guinea pigs, ducklings to sheep, kid brothers to horses. 

"Eat Locally" is a way of life for many residents in the San Juan Islands. The San Juan Island Farmers Market features delicious island-raised produce, berries, colorful bouquets, eggs, and dairy products, as well as fresh local seafood, shellfish, and meats. The market also features freshly cooked and prepared foods made from local ingredients, grass-fed burgers, hot sausages, baked goods, pizza, crafts, and more!

The market is held outdoors on the Brickworks Plaza, in downtown Friday Harbor on Nichols Street, from April through October on each Saturday from 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.. It then moves indoors for the winter to Friday Harbor High School on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays in Nov and Dec. Then it will be held on the 1st Sat of the month for Jan - April. The market moves back to the Brickworks building in April for another great season.

The Brickworks is Friday Harbor’s newest rehabilitated historic site. The building was built in 1920 to house The Friday Harbor Brick and Tile Company. Today it is the last surviving industrial building in Friday Harbor. The rehabilitation is expected to be completed in May 2013 and will expand the Brickworks Plaza by providing year-round indoor market and event space in an important historic setting.
