2002 Photos - Clam Bake

August 24

Another excellent party at the Vancouver Water Ski Club! Our annual Clam Bake this year feature the band 'The Urge', a last minute replacement for 'Wreck in Progress' that dismantled a week before the event. The weather was warm, and the crowds were there. About 135 people attended. Special thanks go to Lorne Staley and family who planned almost everything, did the cooking, and provided barge transportation for people at the end of the evening.

Guest Singer Tracy was a special guest singer for the band, and sounded just like Janis Joplin. She totally kicked ass. Deck Crowd One part of the crowd on the front deck.
Boat Party Kind of like a kitchen party, except... um, on a boat. Richara, Ric, and Louise So, here we are on the dock having fun. Shortly thereafter, Richara decides to go swimming. We have photos, but in the interest of family viewing decided not to display them!
