The Rotary Club of Sequim’s 44th annual Salmon Bake is scheduled for noon-4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 12.

A new and improved version of baking will be introduced this year.

Seasoned coho salmon fillets will be placed over the hot coals and baked, ready for guests when gates open at noon.

The bake includes a barbecued pork option for those who are not fish lovers. The event also will feature several food vendors, entertainment and raffles.

Tickets may be purchased beginning this week from Rotarians at sales sites Fridays and Saturdays at Walmart, QFC and Safeway or at Rotarians’ businesses (between 10 a.m.-4 p.m.), the Boys & Girls Club, Thomas Building Center and Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce offices.

The event is a major Rotary fundraiser, with net profits going to the Boys & Girls Club, Scouting activities, Sequim school teacher grants and several other community service projects.
