Optional Special Dinner

On Monday November 16, an optional special dinner has been arranged at the Quinault Beach Resort located 2 miles south of the Shilo Inn in Ocean Shores. The Quinault Indian Nation has long been involved in HAB issues and would take this opportunity to introduce their culture and food to attendees.
Busses will pick up and return attendees for the dinner beginning at 5:30pm and returning at 8pm.
Quinault Tribal Dancers will do a 30 minute presentation to begin the dinner with interpretive dance and storytelling. The dancers will then join the group for a dinner of wild, fresh-caught, Pacific King Salmon with all the side dishes. This will be fresh-out-of-the-ocean King Salmon. One drink will be provided and a no-host bar will follow. Costs for the transportation, dancers, dinner and one drink will be $30 per person. This will be an extraordinary opportunity to experience and meet with people from one of the original cultures of the Pacific Northwest.
