Bellingham, WA 07/18/08 - On Wednesday August 6th from 5:30PM-9PM TAG, the Technology Alliance Group will hold its fourth annual summer fest, Tech Stomp in Bellingham. Tech Stomp celebrates the progress and impact of technology companies in our region.

Attendees can enjoy wine from Chuckanut Ridge, and delicious hors d'oeuvres from Fools Onion Catering. The Walrus band will entertain us with their rich and sizzling musical arrangements on tunes by Beatles, Queen, the Eagles, and more.
The event also features a bocce ball tournament as well as a contest for the best Hawaiian outfits, shirts and muumuus, with prizes for style, substance and daring! The event is open to the public and admission is $15 at the door. RSVP by emailing aehnmark@tagnw.org or calling 360-647-4220.
