Eelpout Festival 31



I can't believe we've lived here 22 years, and we've never attended this amazing cultural event. What can I say about it? The point is to catch the biggest eelpout, a creepy, prehistoric creature that wraps itself around your arm when you try to hold it. Our delegation included my husband, Kent, my daughter, Steph, and her husband, Doug. Steph, the animal activist, looked at the flopping eelpout in the huge tank and said, "Poor things." But she has a kinder heart than anyone else attending. The most common response was, "Yuk."
