Only 9 more days until the The Chehalis Flying Saucer Party!!!!

I’m blown away by how quickly the roses have rebounded from their recent trimming. They are getting ready to put on a show pretty soon here, and thought our fans would appreciate the rose bush update. 🌹🤗

It’s looking so beautiful here again and I’m thankful for the many folks who have expressed their appreciation. I’ll update again as the blooms begin.

With fair week over I’m feeling as though I missed some updates recently. We moved some things around inside and opened the curtains, the roses are rebounding nicely , we had a visit from Madonna the Mantis, and it seems a flying saucer has crash landed in our model train! Lots to see going on here, and lots more to come!

Congratulations to Silver of Centralia for winning our Lewis County History blanket!

The prize has already been picked up but we still have a few more blankets for sale if you just have to have one!

Thank you to all who came by our building at the fair and entered to win! It was a great week and we loved meeting all of you!

I love seeing how the kids at the fair have evolved the toy train tracks each day. We’ve had such a great time meeting and hosting all our visitors!
