The 54th Annual Grayland Driftwood Show & Glass Float Roundup will be held next weekend, April 2 and 3, at the historic Grayland Community Hall.
This year’s show features driftwood, glass floats, photos and flotsam and jetsam displays and competition at the hall, a treasure hunt on the beach for clues that can lead you to hand-blown glass float prizes and lots of vendors.
