Naval Air Station Whidbey Island hosted its annual Race Week Party July 21 at Crescent Harbor Adventures on the Seaplane Base.

The festivities took place on the marina’s boathouse deck. Party-goers dined on barbecued chicken and pork ribs, baked beans, corn on the cob, potato salad, dinner rolls and watermelon.

Musical entertainment featured the Don Richards Band, which was followed later in the evening by reggae music from Andy O.

Wes and Beverly Madsen, and their children, Madison and Brooklyn, attended the party. “We received the email about this, and wanted to come out and hear the music,” said Wes.

“Since we live close by, (in Navy housing), it just seemed like something fun to do this evening.”
