Bald Eagle Days 2023 a big success
The fireworks show was a great success again this year.
Mayor David Olson waved to the spectators.
Riders and horses were popular with the crowd.
A Corgi firefighter kept a close eye on things.
The fireworks show was enjoyed by the crowd at the waterfront.
Grand marshals of the parade were Skyline Golf Course owners Kim Rodahl Herren and Robin Herren.
Dennis Mueller herded rubber duckies at the Elochoman Slough Marina. The event was a port fundraiser, with the winner getting half the pot, and the other half going to next year's fireworks. Little ducky 57, selected by Sean Kerns of Vancouver, won the race. Kerns broke even that day, as he took back what he spent to play, and donated the rest to the fireworks fund, according to Port Manager Todd Souvenir.
The Lower Columbia PFLAG group were winners in the parade this year.
The waterball contest was exciting to watch.
One more Bald Eagle Days weekend is in the books, and it was one fun-filled, busy weekend in Wahkiakum County with all kinds of activities and good weather to keep a lot of visitors, local people, and businesses smiling. Thank you to the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce and all the volunteers and people who keep this proud tradition going every year.
