 <title>Harbor Days - Burger Booth Opportunity</title>
 <link>http://thurstondemocrats.org/node/787</link>
 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;start&quot;&gt;Start: Aug 29 2008 - 10:00pm&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;end&quot;&gt;End: Aug 31 2008 - 8:00pm&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please help us bring this season to a successful close by signing up to volunteer at a shift for Harbor Days!

&lt;p&gt;Harbor Days (August 29-31) is an annual festival where tugboats return to the southernmost tip of Puget Sound for three days of entertainment, food,art, history, and a last farewell to the summer. Vintage, working and retired tugboats are moored at Olympia&#039;s Percival Landing. Many of them are open for tour on Saturday of the festival. Be on hand at noon Sunday as the tugs leave shore to participate in the Annual Harbor Days Tugboat Races, out in the deep channel of the bay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#039;s that time of the year when the smell of onions frying on the grill beacons you and thousands of others to support our popular Demo Burger Booth.&amp;nbsp; And, back by popular demand is our scrumptious Might D burger.&amp;nbsp; To read about the legend of the Might D, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thurstondemocrats.org/pages/TCDnews0804.htm#burger&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find out which shift your favorite candidate(s) is working, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thurstondemocrats.org/harbordays&quot;&gt;visit our Harbor Days page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
