BirdFest prompts BirdQuest

SEQUIM — BirdFest-BirdQuest is a free game designed to bring together high school students, merchants and the community to support the Olympic BirdFest and encourage shopping locally.

Participants will find and match ceramic bird sculptures created by Sequim High School ceramics students to the business where they are hidden.

BirdFest-BirdQuest, which started Monday and will run through April 14, is sponsored by Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Merchants’ Group.

Game cards are available at and can be returned to each of the participating merchants and the Sequim Visitors Center at 1192 E. Washington St.

The grand prize is a cruise on Sequim Bay with Salty Girls Charters for up to six people, plus a one-year membership to the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society.

The grand prize drawing and People’s Choice Awards will be at noon April 23, during the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber’s Luncheon at Guy Cole Event Center, 202 N. Blake Ave.

After April 27, the Sequim High School students’ ceramic bird sculptures will be on display at the Dungeness River Audubon Center in Railroad Bridge Park, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road.

Olympic BirdFest will be from April 12-14, based at the Dungness River Audubon Center in Railroad Bridge Park, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road.
