  • August 13, 2022 - OPCAAW Summer Picnic

    OPCAAW Summer Picnic


    August 13, 2022

    Save the date for the annual Olympic Peninsula Woodturners picnic.

    This year, we will celebrate at Larry Lemon's house near Gig Harbor.

    The club provides burgers, hot dogs and buns. Members bring pot-luck salads, sides and deserts. If your last name is A-I, bring a desert; J-Q, bring a salad; R-Z bring side dishes.

    Bring lounge chairs for your comfort.

    The summer picnic is a  member's only function. Members are welcome to bring a guest. This is a joint event with the Strait Turners, so members of the Strait Turners are also welcome.

    From southbound Hwy 16, take the Purdy exit to Hwy 302. Follow Hwy 302 across the crossway, past the small enclave of Wauna. After you pass the intersection with 118 Avenue, start looking to your left. Turn left onto 131st Street KPN, and then right onto 127th Street. Larry's house will be on your left, address number 13007.
