* Saturday's event promises fun, activities and education.
Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe will offer food, activities and education for people who attend the tribe's ninth annual Environmental Day on Saturday.
The free event will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Tribal Center on Little Boston Road in North Kitsap.
This year's focus is recycling, and the keynote speaker will be Dave Peters, Kitsap County's recycling coordinator, tribal spokesman Emmett O'Connell said.
Activities and displays are planned throughout the day.
Elaine Grinnell, a teacher and elder of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, will share stories during the lunch session at 12:30 p.m. A contemporary Native American theater group from Seattle, Red Eagle Soaring, will share poetry and offer a preview of the group's upcoming play.
S'Klallam Day princesses Bethany Swift, Abby Purser and Lauren Moon will talk about the "Three R's" - reduce, reuse and recycle.
The first 200 guests will receive an Environmental Day T-shirt. Door prizes will be awarded. Everyone is advised to dress for the weather.
