Are you ready to learn how a firearm functions? Don’t know how to choose a firearm you might want, then this class is for you. Learn the basics of how a firearm operates, learn about different ammo, how to grip the firearm, how to stand, line up the sights, press the trigger and more. If you do not own a firearm I will have several available for you to try. You would need to bring a box of 9mm Luger or Parabellum ammo and/or .22 LR (long rifle) ammo. You would also have to bring eye & ear protection as well as a baseball cap. The fee is $85 and you must call Dolly at 360-978-4338 in advance to reserve your spot. Can have 6 ladies in each class. If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Master Gardeners will be in the Gardens sharing how to start gardening … Gardening Made Simple. Anyone can garden, almost anywhere. The site buildings are Open 1:30 til 3:30 with our Talk at 2 pm for 30 mins. As will our Living Historians to visit about our history and gardening then and now. Some things have changed, but not. George Washington was practicing Garden Rotation 250 years ago. It is still a wise practice. He used “Organic Gardening” also, though they didn’t give it such a fancy catch phrase.
