Bob Wallin Insurance hosts a barbecue from noon to 6 p.m. on Friday, June 27, in honor of its founder Bob Wallin’s 50th year in the insurance industry.

Wallin founded the Bellingham-based company five decades ago with his wife, Nita Wallin.

The free barbecue, held at the company’s office at 1844 Iron St., will include Hempler Hotdogs, chips, refreshments and a “congratulations” cake.

Bob Wallin staff members have also organized raffles and prize giveaways. Guests who bring a school supply to donate to local children will have a chance to win tickets to an Everett AquaSox game.
