On October 12, 1962, a windstorm fueled in part by the remains of Typhoon Freda struck the Pacific Northwest with deadly winds topping one hundred miles per hour.
The storm killed dozens, injured hundreds, damaged more than fifty thousand homes, and leveled enough timber to build one million homes. Join us for an author talk with John Dodge, former investigative reporter for The Olympian, as he reads passages from his new book about Typhoon Freda, “A Deadly Wind: The 1962 Columbus Day Storm.” This talk will include a slideshow and a question and answer session. A signing will follow the presentation, and copies of the book will be available for purchase.

Come celebrate 4/20 with us! Comedy brought to you by Joke Masters Comedy. They have a premier lineup of Comedians for your entertainment. There will be some great freebies and giveaways.
The show starts at 8:00 p.m., but come grab a great seat, a cold drink and some delicious food by 7:00 p.m. for optimum seating choices!
Headliner: Robert Moore
Featuring: Joseph Gilleran
Hosting: Lucy Tollefson
Tickets are $15 online and $20 at the door

The Borsts and other families built a “New Church” in c. 1872 … to gather together in fellowship and for weddings. Two of the Borst children were married in that church. As well as many other life events. Etta Keller, Reenactor has made a lovely mid-19th century wedding dress and will talk about weddings in that day. Miss Etta will lead the talk.
An Independence Day Celebration … mid-19th century style!

Putting up the bountiful harvest for a long winter. Activities and discussion of how to put up and store foods in the mid-19th century. Panel of our Living Historians. Mary Borst had a lovely, in that day, very modern cook stove. Joseph also built her a state of the art pantry, which kept things cool ~ one of my personal favorites in the house.
