I've been to a lot of groundbreaking ceremonies over the years but tonight's for the Port Angeles Field Arts & Events Hall was a lot of fun. Music, community spirit, inspiring speeches and a little humor. But the highlight was the large backhoe. No wimpy golden shovels for this project!

Dear Field Hall leaders and supporters,
What a night! Thank you to all who joined us at the ceremony and/or at Barhop for the celebration that followed. Such a spectacular show of support from across the community from partner organizations, community leaders, and individuals just like you! From the bottom of our hearts, biggest heartfelt thanks from the board of directors, staff, and volunteers.
There is still lots of work to be done and funds left to be raised. If you’re interested in making a gift or discussing available naming opportunities, we’d love to connect!
