On Thursday, June 13th 2019 we set up the Selah Sweets Food Truck up on Historical North Front Street in Downtown Yakima for the first of ten Downtown Summer Nights events in 2019.

This was warm night with a little breeze. Many came out for the fun. Live music from The Olson Bros Band and then Rafael Tranquilino Band.

More about the event from the official page:

EVERY THURSDAY* | JUNE 13TH – AUGUST 22ND 5:30 – 9:00PM | FREE & ALL AGES
Since its successful debut in 2013, Yakima’s Downtown Summer Nights concert series has become an integral part of Yakima’s summer music scene. Each Thursday, come dance and enjoy a cup of your favorite craft beverage in the heart of downtown on Historic North Front Street. The event is FREE and open to all ages. This year’s 10-show series will run from June 13th through August 22nd*

Each week features two bands and a bustling beer garden pouring your Yakima Valley craft favorites and outfitted misting tents for those especially hot evenings. For the whole family, an activities area, food from Front Street restaurateurs and plenty of room to kick up your heels right in front of the main stage.

On Tuesday June 11th 2019, Scouts from the BSA Grand Columbia Council Skookum District took part in the Yakima Elks Lodge #318 for the Flag Day Ceremony.

The Flag Day Ceremony started around 7:00 PM. The Elks told the history of each flag as the Scouts brought the flags to the front of the room.

Once all the flags were up front then we said the Pledge of Allegiance.

This was a great event.

2019 Packwood
Memorial Day Weekend Flea Market
Report & Photos by Clay Graham / CegPics.com

On Wednesday, May 22nd through Monday May 27th, 2019, we had the Selah Sweets Food Truck set up at the Packwood Timberland Library for the Packwood Memorial Day Weekend Flea Market.

We brought over the P30 and the F350 pulling a utility trailer with a big freezer of ice for the PNW Dual Sport event in Randle on May 16th -19th and this event In Packwood. We spent a few day in between the events at a friends place so we did not have to drive the rigs back over White Pass just to turn around and come back

The weather was cool and rainy.

A couple of evenings we spent sometime across the road at the Packwood Brewing Company.

Here are some photos of our time at the Packwood Flea Market:
