Peninsula College invites the community to its Port Angeles campus for the third annual Fall Spectacular on Saturday, September 7, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission and all activities – except food and drink purchases – are free and open to the public.

Award-winning and nationally renowned sand sculptor, Bill Dow, will use water, sand, and compaction to create a professional-grade sand sculpture on the campus quad. As Dow works to make his creation come into being, young children can build their own sand creations in a temporary sand box nearby.

The family-friendly event includes activities for all ages. Guests can wander through campus and enjoy live music, interactive community booths, faculty-led classroom demonstrations and lectures, food vendors, and a beer garden. Those with an adventurous spirit can try out the rock-climbing wall, obstacle course, yard games, and giant inflatables. In the library children can hear story time, while outside they can do fun activities like face painting, arts and crafts, bounce houses and sand sculpting.

Attendees may enter to win event swag, and the Peninsula College Foundation will be giving away a new laptop each hour beginning at noon. Guests can stop by the Welcome Table and enter to win.

Scheduled bands include Joy in Mudville, Tex & Ted Duo, and Sound Advice. The Lower Elwha Klallam Song and Drum group will also be performing. View the event schedule.

“We’re thrilled to welcome the community to our third annual Fall Spectacular,” said Dr. Suzy Ames, President of Peninsula College. “This event is a wonderful opportunity for families to experience the vibrant spirit of our campus. With activities, food, and festivities for all ages, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We look forward to creating lasting memories together and showing how Peninsula College is a place where everyone belongs.
