We've got a lot to tell you! It really feels like Spring is
right around the corner and there is so much going on! We are
approaching our 10th anniversary and have some exciting things on the
horizon! One change is that we will be changing our live music
schedule. We will only have one regular night of music, first Thursdays
with Danny Ward. Our intent is to leave room for different types of
musical events throughout the year...stay tuned.
"Much Ado About Murder". This year is bound to be "hare" raising! Join us for Langley's 32nd Annual Mystery Weekend, February 27th and 28th. The entire town turns into a crime scene for the weekend - shop keepers hand out clues, and colorful characters and sleuths roam the town trying to solve the mystery. This is really a fun weekend activity for groups of friends and families. Our 12 and 8 year olds did it last year with their grandparents and LOVED IT! Visit the Langley Chamber of Commerce website for more details. http://www.visitlangley.com/

Red Spatula Award Update: The culinary school scholarship for a South Whidbey woman that we created in memory of our dear friend and pastry chef, Natanya Johnson is entering an exciting time once again! Our 2nd recipient started her culinary program in January at Seattle Central Community College while our 1st recipient is making plans to open her own bakery. Applications are now out and we are hoping to find our 3rd recipient this spring. This scholarship is a FULL RIDE to a local community college and it has been funded through fundraising events and generous donations. We are starting our fundraising cycle again and will have letters out in the mail next week! If you are interested in contributing, checks can be made out to the South Whidbey School's Foundation and sent to Prima Bistro at PO Box 976 Langley, Wa 98260. All donations are tax deductible. If you know of a young woman with aspirations to have a career in the culinary world, please direct them to our facebook page where details of the application process can be found.

We were asked by the Seattle based company Glassybaby
to host a road show to benefit one of our local causes. And well, of
course we said YES! On Sunday, March 6th Glassybaby will be showing up
with 100's of the beautiful glass votives to sell from 2:00-4:00 in the
afternoon. 10% of the sales will go directly to Whidbey Island
Nourishes, a great organization that provides more than 2000 meals
monthly to kids on South Whidbey. This is a WIN WIN!
The Gray Whales will soon be returning to Langley. Each
year, approximately 20,000 Gray Whales migrate
between feeding and breeding grounds in Baja and Alaska. Some come in
from the Pacific Ocean into the Straits of Juan de Fuca and the
Saratoga Passage and actually stay for a few months before heading
North. We are extraordinarily lucky in Langley...these amazing
creatures feed on the ghost shrimp right at our sea wall. They come up
so close that at Prima we are unable to see them as the buildings across
block our view! So when we hear the whale bell ringing we know it's
time to run across the street for a look. Welcome the Whales day
is April 16 - replete with a parade and seaside celebration in honor of
this annual migration. Whale watching tours aboard the Mystic Sea run
from the Langley marina now through the beginning of May. You are
guaranteed (literally) to see a whale. The trips almost always sell
out, so book now!
Other things happening around Langley:
Museo’s annual winter exhibit, a group show with the theme "Mardi Gras”, continues through the month of February. Over thirty artists will participate with works in various media paying homage to this colorful and exuberant celebration. The gallery is open Thursday through Monday from 11 am to 5 pm. The exhibit will run through February 28, 2016.
