Camano Island Heritage Preservation Award Benefit Brunch

12th  ANNUAL CAMANO ISLAND HERITAGE PRESERVATION AWARD BRUNCH

October 10th  

  

The Camano Schoolhouse Foundation honored the Kristoferson family for their incredible 114-year dedication to preserving the historic Kristoferson Farm. For their dedication to preserving the Kristoferson Farm established by Alfred Kristoferson in 1912, this beautiful and productive farm remains a local treasure. 


This annual event raises vital funds to support our community. We are currently raising $18,000 to replace the aging roof on our historic Fire Hall next door, and we invite you to be a part of this effort.

Have questions?

 If you have questions or would like to nominate someone for next year, please contact Chuck Durland at: chuck1durland@gmail.com
