The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

Join WSU Wahkiakum County Extension on April 17 for a day of inspiration, learning and regional networking to create jobs, improve the economy, add value to existing rural businesses, encourage new entrepreneurs and engage with a national expert, without leaving your community.

Twenty sites across rural Washington will watch Erik Pages, on a webinar with the opportunity to ask questions. After his presentation, each site will put his ideas into action through organized activities, turning their attention to local issues, resources and project ideas.

The conference is from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and will be held at 25 River Street, Cathlamet. The registration fee is $30, but free for Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce members. For more information, visit waruralprosperity.wsu.edu or call 360-795-3278.
