The Saturday Salmon BBQ
Day four of The Transformation On The Shore is certainly bringing out the best in all the wood chips, shavings and sawdust, that have been blowing through the air of late.
Day four, was also another highlight to the carving contest. The salmon barbecue. The salmon is cooked directly on the beach around a fire that is using chunks of wood off the logs being carved, in the Native traditions. That was something to see.

Along with the salmon was three salad dishes which included fresh caught prawns from local waters of off Vancouver Island, Bannocks, rolls. Followed by carrot cakes, lemon meringue tarts, both vanilla and chocolate fudge covered cake. Coffee, pop and water.
Every thing starts again Sunday morning. The carvers now have until 2 p.m. to complete their creations. At that time all the ceremonies start, prizes are chosen and winners notified. Auctions are closed and winners presented with their auction trophies.
