Every year the nearby town of Hoodsport outdoes itself putting on a Fourth of July extravaganza. This year we got ourselves together and participated in the street fair on Friday, selling barbecued Hama Hama oysters with a butter and garlic sauce. Saturday was the really busy day in Hoodsport--with live music, a raffle, and a surprisingly excellent fireworks display--but since it's also a really busy day in our store we weren't able to fire up the barbecues. Several of our customers on Friday were hungry hikers in town to visit the newly re-opened Staircase trailhead.
