We're excited to announce the launch of our 2026 Stuff the Bus Food and Funds Drive at the Anacortes Refinery, supporting the Helping Hands Food Bank CHOW (Cutting Hunger on Weekends) Program. This important program provides nutritious weekend meals to local students who may not otherwise have access to food when school is not in session. For many children, a bag filled with food means more than a meal. It provides peace of mind, helps them stay focused in school, and gives them the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. Stuff the Bus continues to grow. This year, we're excited to expand collection locations through new partnerships with Farmstrong Brewery and Skagit Speedway, creating even more opportunities for our community to come together and support local children HOW YOU CAN HELP 🥫 Food Donations – Farmstrong Brewery, Skagit Speedway or email [email protected] to arrange a drop off for Anacortes only. Our most-needed items include: • Cereal • Granola Bars • Pop-Top Soups • Chili and Stew • Canned Pasta • Canned Chicken or Tuna • Fruit Cups • Peanut Butter • Canned Applesauce • Boxed Juice ❤️ Monetary Donations Checks may also be mailed to: Helping Hands Food Bank P.O. Box 632 Sedro-Woolley, WA 98284 Please note "Stuff the Bus 2026" in the memo line so your donation can be credited to the campaign.

Zach Bauman (bouzouki), Sam Vogt (guitar, whistle), David Lofgren (bodhrán), and Hanz Araki (flutes, vocals) play a cunning blend of traditional songs and tunes from Ireland, Scotland, and beyond! Steeplechase came about in the tried and true manner of Irish music bands throughout the centuries, which is to say, at the session. It became clear that these horses could pull in the same direction, and thus a band was born. Three of the four members have connections to Maine, but they all managed to find their way to the northwest corner of the United States. Hanz Araki (flutes, vocals), Zach Bauman (bouzouki), Sam Vogt (guitar, whistle), and David Lofgren (bodhrán) each have long histories in folk music; and while their paths to taking up traditional music may vary wildly, their passion for, and love of this art form is unquestionably shared. Doors open at 6:00pm, music at 6:30pm, refreshments will be available for purchase. Members receive a discount on tickets to this show. To become a Celtic Arts Foundation member, please visit our Membership Page or call 360-416-4934. Concert goers can take advantage of 15% off of the best available rate at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Burlington–just mention the Celtic Arts Foundation when booking or click here. Tickets are final sale and cannot be refunded.
