Festival logo 2014

The Vashon Chamber of Commerce is excited to unveil the 2014 Vashon Strawberry Festival logo created by Nancy Sipple.  

This is the 3rd festival logo designed by Sipple, who is an Island artist, quilter, businessperson and volunteer extraordinaire!  Nancy has also contributed a quilt block for the VAA quilt for the past 18 years!  She often features something festival related in her quilt squares due to her fondness for this festival that she has taken part of for so many years.

When asked what her favorite part of festival is, she would say it is a tie between the parade and the street dance.  Her fondest memories are from her first festival experience (around 1990) when she and her husband, Gary, had just moved to Vashon.  They were sitting at a restaurant having dinner watching the festivities.  After dinner they danced in the street and became even more enchanted with the Island and the Strawberry Festival.  

As a past Vashon Chamber of Commerce Board Member, Nancy has done her share of festival volunteer work and helping out where needed.  She finds time to volunteer for her many passions and causes while also keeping busy as a John L. Scott Realtor, practicing her many talents and spending time with her family.

Thank you Nancy for this colorful logo which, of course, features the festival symbol….the STRAWBERRY!
