The family oriented event, presented by Friends of Heybrook Ridge, is a fundraiser for building trails on the ridge and funding the carving of a large totem pole by noted Haida carver Ralph Bennett.
The event runs from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm and features live music from the local Index band Spare Rib & The Bluegrass Sauce.
Admission is $20 for adults, with kids under 12 admitted free. Food will be provided and there will be a silent auction featuring art by local artists as well as goods and services.
The Friends of Heybrook Ridge is a local environmental success story that began when a small group of people came together to preserve a forested ridge near Index from being logged.
With an anonymous half-million-dollar donation, the Friends raised over $600,000, which was then matched by Snohomish County. Ultimately the ridge ended dup as a newly created 130-acre county park in 2008.
The Friends are now close to another goal of raising $30,000 to construct trails on the ridge.
The group is also sponsoring the River Woman Totem Project, a sculpture being carved from a 35-foot old-growth log that was salvaged in Index.
