PORT TOWNSEND — Teaching music to children has been Andy Mackie’s gift to the world.

But deteriorating health has the septuagenarian saying he will perform for the last time this weekend at the music festival he founded.

Mackie’s annual Family Music Festival and Highland Games at Jefferson County Memorial Field in downtown Port Townsend raises scholarship dollars for graduating Jefferson County music students.

The event runs form 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday at the field on Washington Street at Madison.

It is sponsored by John L. Scott Real Estate of Port Townsend and accepts tax-deductible donations that go to the Andy Mackie Music Foundation and Habitat for Humanity of Jefferson County, in care of the Jefferson County Education Fund.

Mackie, a native of Scotland who lives in Quilcene, said the festival shares Scottish culture and has a silent auction to raise scholarship funds, along with bluegrass, fiddle, folk, blues, jazz and rock performances.
