Hey Bellingham Friends, A pleasant surprise when I went to pick up my gingerbread tortoise artist… an invitation to show at The Marine Life Center! Operated by The Port of Bellingham, this small interpretative aquarium provides fun, information, and inspiration for the whole family — all about local marine life with a touch tank, live fish, and beautiful view of Bellingham Bay. Sometimes they even have resident octopuses! All the living creatures are accidental “bycatch” from the fishing industry. What a great way to give them a new, safe home as wildlife ambassadors. I hope you can visit soon (before the humidity wrecks the gingerbread and royal icing) and often!!! What an honor it is to show my first-ever gingerbread contest entry. Free admission.
