Cedar Cove Festival

This past week, Port Orchard's been in a tizzy over hosting the Cedar Cove Days. The popular author, Debbie Macomber, based a lot of her novels on here, renaming it Cedar Cove. (I've just recently learned all this myself, lol)

A few weeks back, the radio host Deliah offered to pay for all the paint to spiffy up the downtown area in preparation for this festival - I'll be honest, I think they should have left it. It took away the character of the town - the character the books were based on really. But here's a few photos from when we braved the parking nightmare downtown...

Here's one of Sydney Avenue, with the popular local restaurant Myrhe's:


There was also a little art & crafts fair on the waterfront:


You can see the Court House peeking here, and the lovely Washington sky to greet everyone. ;)

I didn't know about the Port Orchard/Cedar Cove connection - very interesting! I've just recently discovered Debbie Macomber though and am actually reading the final book of the Blossom Street series. Anyway the event looks like a great time and the town still looks charming to me!
