PORT TOWNSEND — The free Port Townsend Gallery Walk will unfold again this Saturday, bringing free art displays, hors d’oeuvres, drinks and an hour of storytelling to downtown venues.

Here’s a sketch of the attractions downtown, with receptions from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday unless otherwise noted.

■ Gallery Nine, 1012 Water St., highlights photographer Nancy Cherry Eifert and woodworker Robin McKann this month.

Eifert reflects her love of wildlife in her photos of otters, eagles, vine maples and more in the Olympics and Cascades, while Mc-Kann is showing two new harp tables from his line of functional woodwork.

Among her works on display are paintings inspired by a four-day camping trip in the

North Cascades.

Both artists will be on hand Saturday evening.
