50 years ago today, Viking 2 successfully landed on Mars.

Reaching another planet required careful observation, planning and navigation—the same kinds of skills students will explore during Finding Our Way, the next program in the REACH Museum Homeschool Series.

And despite the series name, these classes are open to all students—whether they homeschool or attend a public or private school!

On World Photography Day, we’re looking back at a night—and a community—worth celebrating.

Thanks to our guests, donors, auction bidders, volunteers, and sponsors, Spuds & Suds 2026 reached 87% of its fundraising goal!

The funds raised extend far beyond one evening. They help the REACH Museum provide education programs and hands-on learning experiences that connect students, families, and lifelong learners with the stories of the Mid-Columbia River Region.

A tremendous thank-you to our sponsors:

💎 Diamond Sponsor: Battelle
⭐ Gold Sponsors: In Balance CPA Group PLLC and Allen Brecke
🤍 Silver Sponsor: RBC Wealth Management — Schumacher Liebert Investment Group
🤠 In-Kind Sponsors: Abadan, Pete & Jane Hedges, Ice Harbor Brewery, and Rattlesnake Mountain Brewing Company

🎶 A special thank-you to Zac Burrell for providing the live music and creating the perfect atmosphere for the evening!

We were especially honored to celebrate Steve and Shirley Simmons, whose vision, generosity, and steadfast support helped make the REACH Museum what it is today.

We are also deeply grateful to everyone who donated an auction item, raised a paddle, purchased a raffle ticket, volunteered, or simply joined us for the evening.

Every contribution mattered.

Thank you for investing in learning, local history, and the future of the REACH Museum.

If you would like to help us close the remaining gap, gifts can still be made at:
