Seafair Pirates find lost Treasure

with TOP Food & Drug

For Immediate Release:

Friday – July 2, 2010

The Seafair Pirates have a long history of showing their love for the community and the love the community has returned to them is overwhelming.  Festival Sponsor TOP Food &  Drug named. Thanks to the entire community and Duke Moscrip

On Wed June 23 Duke Moscrip of Dukes Chowder house put out the call to help the Seafair Pirates fund the 61^st annual Pirates Landing. The call was heard by the community and pledges came forth from the public.  Meanwhile, the Northwest’s largest locally owned grocery chain heard that call. TOP Food & Drug agreed to become the Festival Sponsor for the 2010 Seafair Pirates Landing;. The ceremonial Kick – off to Seafair; the region’s largest summer festival.

Since revamping the landing and taking total control of producing the Pirates Landing, thousands have flocked to Alki see the annual tradition and usher in the start of the Summer season with a blast. The Seafair Pirates Landing is like the Pirates magazine, it is a standalone project.  It is not funded by any source other than sponsorships or advertising dollars. In the event of any shortfall, no monies are used from the treasury or charitable purposes accounts.  It is made up through an assessment of the members themselves.

TOP Food & Drug has made a huge difference in our community joining with Duke and embodying the Seafair Pirates Foundation Charity Mission, “Individually we can make a difference. Together we can make an impact”

    
This be yer warnin’ shot!          

The cutthroat Seafair Pirates crew has made a deal with their new Captain Kidd – Mike "Sparrow" Knowlton and are comin’ to collect the bounty they left behind last year!

Avast, the Seattle Seafair Pirates will sail in from the seven seas and land on the beach at noon. Don’t be gettin in their way! The Car Toys AFTERSHOCK  stage will be there ta welcome ye and they be bringin the local band “Shelley and the Curves” around 11 AM and will give ye a day full o wild piratical merriment.

Have your little pirates come dressed fer the occasion and visit the Kiwanis tent to get a free sample of a great root beer brewed here locally from Ellersick Brewing Co.  Later in the day they can be part of a Pirate look-a-like contest to win some booty sponsored by the West Seattle Kiwanis.

Hi-Yu is a non-profit organization, established in 1934 by West Seattle's service clubs to produce a summer festival to promote the West Seattle Community.

The annual Hi-Yu Summer Festival is held the third week of July. Dozens of events occur throughout the neighborhood during this week. The kick-off event is the Seattle Seafair Pirates Landing at Alki Beach, and it finishes over a week later with the Miss West Seattle Hi-Yu Scholarship Program. Named in 1934, in a community contest, Hi-Yu means "Big Time" in Chinook jargon.
