It was a three-day affair of networking opportunities, presentations, and discussions about challenges, strategies, accomplishments, successes and predictions. The Conference culminated in an outing hosted by our Port’s Director and its Commissioners aboard The Puget Sound Express.

OUR TOWN with host Maryanne McNellis Alternating Tuesdays and repeats the following Sunda <https://mcusercontent.com/6df05bfd2eaa0ab6bf92aa5cf/images/fe3793aa-3be3-1ba8-4c80-30c0c990e8be.jpg> y, both 12:30-1pm May 18 — Maryanne interviews Bob Wheeler, the President of the Friends of Port Townsend Golf Park. The nonprofit group has only been in charge of the historic golfing grounds for a little more than a year. But there are big changes. The greens have been totally groomed and revamped. Now every day groups of young 20 or 30 somethings show up to play disc golf, which is a form of frisbee golf. Families picnic on the grounds and a new playground will be installed shortly - funds permitting. Miniature golf is in the works, as are outdoor movies. The revamped clubhouse or restaurant is opening soon. This is not your classic country club - it’s open to everyone. It’s also the cheapest golf course in the region, by far. May 27 Maryanne interviews Jose Borrayo, the owner of the PT Garden Center. Jose’s a classic entrepreneur. He started out as the maintenance guy at the Garden Center and after years of hard work and study he ended up owning the place. He’s been through some challenging times. During the pandemic his main supplier of plant starts and herbs went out of business. So he ended up buying land and erecting a large greenhouse. Now he grows his own. That results in better prices both for him and for his customers. He’s also expanding into landscaping, partnering with his brother. Jose’s insatiable curiosity has led him to read and absorb every label. When it comes to gardens he’s now a finely tuned expert.
