A Day to Say “Thank you” to Local Military Foofaraw – /ˈfo͞ofəˌrô/ n. 1. frills and flashy finery 2. a great deal of fuss or attention given to a minor matter. We do make a big deal about Foofaraw, and honoring our military is no minor matter. On Friday, September 11 the Thurston County Chamber and the Olympia Yacht Club will host over 225 active duty military men and women at Island Home, a private island owned by the Olympia Yacht Club.
Checking in at the Olympia Yacht Club, attendees receive their transportation assignments and then head out to the island for a day of fun and games as well as a traditional salmon BBQ. Each civilian registration ($65) includes the sponsorship of two military guests to attend that are selected by military branch Public Affairs Officers.
