Sitka Kitch has moved into a new kitchen recently at the Lutheran Church and organizers want to introduce the space to local aspiring chefs. Claire Sanchez joined KCAW’s Erin Fulton on today’s Morning Interview to invite Sitkans to an evening of trivia, a silent auction and good food this Sunday, Feb. 17 at 5:30 p.m. Entrance cost is $10 unless you bring a dish to share.

Sitka Kitch was born out of the 2013 Sitka Community Health Summit and is a community led project to bring people around food and a sustainable food system, according to Sanchez.

For information on this fundraising event, contact Sanchez at 747-7509.

Downtown Sitka will become a menagerie of creatures that walk, swim, fly, and crawl on Friday, April 20th. All are invited to dress as their favorite plant or animal for the Parade of the Species. Participants will meet at Totem Square at 2:45 p.m.

Claire Sanchez with the Sitka Conservation Society talks about the annual tradition, which precedes Earth Day (April 22nd) and has origins in the Procession of the Species, begun in Olympia, WA in 1995.

The parade will conclude at the Sitka Sound Science Center. Prizes will be awarded to the best plant and animal costumes, best use of recycled materials, and best group costume. Contact Sanchez at 747-7509 for more information.
