When you live in a place as beautiful as the Kitsap Pennisula — and in particular, Hansville — you expect summer visitors. They come to enjoy boating or fishing or the summer events at the Hansville Community Center.
Coming up from 7-9 p.m. on Saturday, June 19, is the Taste of Hops, which has become a very popular event. The evening will include great beer from Silver City Brewery, pizza and salad from Bella Luna, and live music by Rye and Barley. Tickets are a bargain at $14 – available at the Hansville General Store, Hansville Auto Repair and the Bella Luna Restaurant in Suquamish.
Hansville will celebrate Sunday, July 4, with a pancake breakfast from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for the whole family. On the menu: pancakes, ham, scrambled eggs, fruit, juice and coffee. Breakfast for adults is $6; for children 3-10 $4; and toddlers eat for free.
From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 25, there is the picnic in the park and Show ’n Shine car show. If you have questions about these events — like how can I get my car into this car show? — call Judy Tallman, (360) 638-2961.
There is a couples’ bridge group that meets from September until May in each others’ homes with a beginning afternoon in September of play at the Hansville Community Center and again in May to finish our season and award prizes. If you’d like to play call Evie Nelson at (360) 638-2641 or Pat Miller at (360) 638-1175.
Have you heard about the group in Kingston called Cleo’s Classic Singles? This is a group of men and women who gather on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in Kingston at Cleo’s Landing. If you are single and older than 50, this is a fun evening that is just casual enough so you can meet lots of nice people and just organized enough so you can bring your hot dog or hamburger to put on the barbecue or bring a salad to share. If you need more info, contact me.
Have you seen how beautiful the scotch broom is this year? Yes, I know all the problems it causes by growing where you don’t want it and by reseeding in your garden and by causing allergies. But it does the job it was meant to do: holding the soil from erosion and all the while looking so bright and fresh and adding color to our hillsides. I am enjoying it — especially this year. Will I get flack from all you dear readers for my love of scotch broom?
