The superintendent of Home Preservation Adult Open Class, for our Wahkiakum County Fair 2018, Becky Ledtke, is encouraging more people to enter exhibits this year. That said, Becky and Jerry, Pearl Blackburn and Levi Helms have donated copies of the 37th edition of the Ball Blue Book " Guide to Preserving," 200 pages of recipes and how to do canning. A drawing will be held each day of the fair for one of these awesome books.

Here are the rules: You must enter one or more exhibits in the adult class-Division 5: food preservation, class 176: canning or class 177: dried foods. Enter your exhibits for the Open Adult division on Monday, 3-6 p.m.

Are you or your youngsters interested in loud and crazy trucks? Our local WolfPack Motorsports, monster trucks will perform Sunday at the Clark County Fairgrounds at 2 p.m. and a second show at 7 p.m. Fun for the whole family.

Though I was unable to attend the annual Pigroast/Potluck last weekend it was another very successful and fun weekend for all who attended. My personal thanks to Poul and Zenaida Toftemark, their family, all the folks who helped out and those who attended, for giving our community a very special way of celebrating friendship and diversity in an exceptionally unique way.

Happy Birthday to Chuck Hendrickson, Scott Johnson, Michelle Zill, Kim Tarabochia, Carol Ervest and Cohen Bennett.

Happy Anniversary to Greg and Karen Wirkkala and Ed and Amy Hunt.

I don’t know about you, but no rain is really getting to me. Wild animals seem to be coming out of the hills looking for water, we have had coyotes, elk and deer on a regular basis this past few weeks. Make sure your animals have plenty of water, as well. It looks like it will be a while before any significant rainfall is in the forecast.
