The Whale Workshop and Whale ’n’ Ale

As Pre-Project Phase 2 began, local businesses were invited to a workshop to share ideas for how the future Whale building could also be used — both permanently and temporarily. Later that evening, the community gathered for “Whale ’n’ Ale”, a celebration to thank everyone who had supported the project and helped make 22 March an unforgettable day.
