Most of the glass floats for next Saturday’s Fresh Paint Float Find arrived this week. Bob Mitchell dropped off an assortment of colorful “beach balls”. Here is a sneak peak…
Beautiful!
That blue one looks like an old japanese sea float.
To get your own Fresh Paint float you’ll have to get there early. Ferries start running at 10am on Saturday and it is first come, first serve, but PLEASE REMEMBER ONLY ONE FLOAT PER PERSON. We know how pretty they are, but let’s make sure as many people as possible get a chance. Alright?
This year you’ll also be able to register your float on the island. Each float is numbered, so be sure to see if your number is a winner. Two lucky float finders will win a JUMBO float.
And, when you’re all done on the beach be sure to check out Fresh Paint over at the marina. We have 100 artists in action, glassblowing, art cars, and a Scuttlebutt’s Beer Garden. Visit www.freshpaintfestival.com for more info! See you there.
