Mochi Pounding on Bainbridge Island on January 18th

Bainbridge Island used to be a major farming community.  Now it’s a mix of everything from farms to condominiums.  I am more familiar with the Japanese history of the island.  To celebrate the New Year the Bainbridge Island Japanese-American Community is inviting everyone to the 5^th Annual Mochi Tsuki Festival on January 18^th, 11 am to 3 pm.  This is a fun and free local event.  For more information, see http://islandwood.org/events/mochi-tsuki-festival.
