The American Legion Post 93 of Orcas Island concluded their 32nd Annual Salmon Derby this past weekend with 70 participants. The proceeds from this event go to supporting programs sponsored by the American Legion and the Sons of the American Legion for Veterans and their families in need, high school scholarships, boys state and children of the island in need of shoes, just to name a few. On Saturday night, 47 door prizes were handed out for those entered in the Derby. They were all donated by merchants in the community.
