PJ attended a wedding in Sheridan, Wyoming out in a pasture where many generations had been married before.

Earl missed last week due to the first day of school and pre-paid for the upcoming lateness due to his daughter being on the debate team.

Program

Our Program today was presented by Linda Haglund, Executive Director of the Wenatchee Downtown Association.

The purpose of WDA is to strengthen and empower the Downtown area of Wenatchee.  If you are  member, you get to contribute up to 75% of your B & O tax right back into your own community.  See details here.

The WDA is part of the Main Street Movement which works to preserve the historical places of downtown communities.
