This past weekend was the Vernonia Friendship Jamboree. The population of Vernonia probably multiplied by ten over the three days. There were the local food booth provided by the lions, there were a lot of vendors selling food to jewelry, a free logging show, the characters in AXEMAN, a free horse show, there was a local art show, music, dances, fishing, car show, motocyle show, and a parade. It is fun to see all the excitement in a small town.

Those are some good lookin' logs on that truck. Mom has complained recently that the Molalla parade never has any decent logs anymore.
There's nothing quite like a small town celebration. glad you had fun.
