We’re still two days away from St. Patrick’s Day, but there was green everywhere Saturday in Coupeville.

The Central Whidbey Co-Op Preschool held its third annual Shamrock 5K Walk/Run, and, as usual, an emphasis was put on running in costume and a bit of the puttin’ on the green.

The photos above are just a wee touch of what was to be seen.

Riders, to your bikes!!

Pertinent info, in a convenient reading format.

Now, everyone with any sense knows that mussels are the world’s most disgusting form of seafood.

But, there are some out there who feel obligated to celebrate the slug of the sea, and it’s certainly true that Coupeville’s annual bowing down to the devil of the ocean during the Penn Cove Mussel Fest (Mar. 7-9) will attract a ton of tourists.

So, while you’re here, trying to gag down the flotsam and jetsam of our waters, you might want to work off the taste by hauling out your bike and getting some exercise.

The Mussels in the Kettles mountain bike event is set for 9 AM Saturday, Mar. 8. For info, head back up to the photo above.

And seriously, as someone who did time working on the mussel rafts and is forever scarred by it — you can put all the butter and garlic in the world on the hideous things and you’re still just chewing on rubber.

Stinky, salty rubber.
