This year’s snazzy gear.

You have two months to prep your bicycling legs, but you need to get crackin’ on registering.

The 2026 edition of the Tour de Whidbey fundraiser is set for Saturday, August 15, and signups are going on currently.

The event, which was launched in 2002, raises money for WhidbeyHealth, funding “top-priority surgical and diagnostic equipment, facility improvements, and scholarships for medical staff.​​​”

It has drawn in 7,000+ bicyclists from 37 states and Canada over the years.

Tour de Whidbey features five different non-competitive rides, with distances ranging from the family friendly 11.3-mile Fort Casey Slow-roll to the 100.4-mile South Island Stretch.

If you get registered in time, you can snag one of this year’s snazzy jerseys, featured in the photo above.

Said gear features an orca breaching a Salish Sea sunset on one side, with the biking routes displayed on the other.

Food train fuels farm boy’s recovery

Posted in Fundraisers, tagged , , , , on June 13, 2026| Leave a Comment »

“Get that food in my mouth, son!!”

There ain’t no holdin’ down a farm boy!

Callum Flack, whose parents Kyle and Paige (Mueller) Flack are fourth-generation tillers of the Whidbey soil, was born at 41 weeks after a challenging labor, and entered the world with an underdeveloped lower jaw, making it difficult for him to breathe on his own.

But after a stay in the NICU at Seattle Children’s Hospital, the lil’ guy (and his luscious locks) has made the move to Coupeville to join his parents and two older brothers.

As the family adjusts to all the transitions, friends have launched a meal train to ease the burden.

The link for it can be found by hopping over to:

Along with running Bell’s Farm with her husband, Paige, a plucky CHS basketball player back in the day, is the Program Director for the school district’s Farm to School program.

She was also previously the elementary school librarian in Cow Town.

Callum Flack

Fourth-generation Whidbey farmers Kyle and Paige (Mueller) Flack recently added son #3, Callum, to the family, but the future tiller of the land has had a difficult entrance to the world.

Born at 41 weeks after a challenging labor, he has an underdeveloped lower jaw, making it difficult for him to breathe on his own.

Callum has been transferred to Seattle Children’s Hospital, where he is in the NICU.

Fighting dangerously low oxygen levels, he is in a 72-hour protocol to cool his brain and prevent further injury.

Kyle and Paige, a former Coupeville High School basketball player who went on to work as an elementary school librarian in Cow Town, face mounting medical bills.

There is also the cost of transportation between Whidbey and Seattle, and the challenges of being away from their farm and two older sons, who are four and six.

Family friends have launched a GoFundMe to help, and you can read more and donate at:
