Memorial Day Weekend in Quilcene

We are having a mini festival at The Plaid Pepper.  Several vendors will be setting up to sell their products; Lopez Larry and Islander Herb, Benchmark Woods from Chimacum, Penni Howton jewelry and of course we’ll have HOT DOGS!  Onions, relish, Oysters and pickles…oh my!

So stop by the plant sale at the Mason Hall on Herbert st., opens at 10 but the line forms much earlier, this is the best plant sale on the Peninsula.  Shop the vendors (new this year) then stop by The Plaid Pepper and the Quilcene Village store where more vendors will be set up. You don’t want to miss this.

Shop Local, it’s the best way to enjoy this Memorial Day weekend.

Shop Local at Open House…Saturday Feb. 11 10 to 4

If you haven’t heard;  The Plaid Pepper will be featuring two local companies, their owners and their products!

Lopez Larry “Soon to be Famous” mustards, BBQ sauce and rubs will be here in Quilcene for a sampling.  He has a few new products that will bring out the foodie in you!

Laura from Islander Herb will also have a full line of her jams, jellies and seasonings for you to taste.  Wonderful pepper jelly and to die for Apricot Chipotle jam, best ever on pork.

We’ll have the coffee on if you haven’t tried the “Dabob Bay Blend” from local roaster Princess Valiant.  We also stock her Peruvian Chocolate and Chocolate covered espresso beans.

Garden Bon Bons are the prefect gift or maybe a local handmade hat, headband, scraf or fingerless glove.

We have Townsend Bay Soaps & Lotions including Gardner’s Grit and Soap for Foodies.

See you Saturday.
