Can't wait to get started with the July 4th festivities? Start with the 3rd!

I must admit that the 4th of July holiday is one of my favorite events of the year. A great way to get the party started early is to head on over to Poulsbo by either land or water and soak up the fun a day early! Festivities begin around noon on the waterfront with assorted bands and a rock'n street fair. The scene on the water goes on all day and night with hundreds of boats anchored out in Liberty Bay carrying on and forming "dingy congo lines" (it's a must see that my kids still talk about!).

The final act starts at 10:00PM with a spectacular fireworks display that lights up the whole bay. Have a safe holiday everyone and I hope the weather forecast stays sunny! Uff da

How to get there

 

The Talon Group wishes everyone a safe and happy Memorial Day!

A reminder to all of our clients that we'll be closed Monday the 25th in observance of Memorial day.  We will begin at our normal business hours on Tuesday.  Please be aware that each county is observing furlough days where the county recorders office will be closed, and these are separate from Federal holidays.  To view each counties furlough schedules, please visit us here.

Here are a few facts about Memorial Day:

• Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day, and didn't become Memorial Day until after World War II.
• Memorial Day commemorates all the men and women who have served and died in military service for the United States.
• For the fashion conscious, Memorial Day represents the day when it's acceptable to start wearing white again.  At least until Labor Day that is.  Whether you want to your not, it's up to you.
• To formally recognize Memorial Day, one should wear red poppies.  At 3 pm, one should also pause for a moment of silence. 

Have a safe and happy holiday weekend from everyone at the Talon Group!

If you find yourself experiencing some cabin fever this winter check out Things to Do When You Get Snowed In.  I was snowed in last weekend and unfortunately all I could think of was baking!

Is it time to spice up your holiday cooking?

 

We think you'll like the Cranberry Almond & Cinnamon Tart we found. Or maybe you'd rather try your hand at a Pumpkin Praline Pie?  If savory is more your style you might want to spice up your turkey with this flavorful brine.  Regardless of whether you make the tried and true family favorites, try out some new recipes or both we hope you have a happy, safe (and filling) holiday season!
