Yakima Cooperative
Seahawk Spectacular
Report & photos by Charlie Graham / Selah Adventures – Selah Community & Tourism.

This story is not about Selah, but about a fundraising event in our neighboring city of Yakima. The story and photos are from 11 year old Charlie Graham. He was at the event helping his mother at the family’s business booth, Selah Sweets. Selah Sweets is now the main part of our company that funds the SelahAdventures.com web site along with our Selah Community & Visitors Center located in the back of our Selah Sweets store in downtown Selah.

On Saturday October 17th, 2015 the Yakima Co-op had a Seahawk Spectacular event. The event proceeds went to People for People’s Meals on wheels for pets.

At the Yakima Co-op event there were other local business and support like; 92.9 The Bull, C is for Cupcake, City Chickens, Beast Mode Kettle Korn, Central Washington Antique Farm Equipment, Selah Sweets, Seahawk Vehicles,  Yakima Implement Tractors, Meals on Wheels for Pets, Yakima Valley Audubon and more.

There was a water trough filled with chicken feed for the children to play in, a face painting booth, birdhouse painting and inflatable ticket vault.

Yakima Valley Rabbit Breeding had some rabbits there to look at.

There were a lot of fans lining up for a photo with Blitz the Seahawk and the “Sea Gals” Seattle Seahawks cheer leaders, Sonrose and Melanie.

The Yakima Co-op was raffling off two Seahawks tickets to an up coming game between the Forty-Niners and Seahawks.

This was a great event.

Here are some photos of the 2015 Seahawk Spectacular:

Yakima Training Center Open House
Report & photos by Clay Graham / Selah Adventures – Selah Community & Tourism.

On Thursday October 15th, 2015 the Yakima Training Center held an open house for Selah city leaders.

To start off the day, members of the Yakima Training Center explained what the base is for and what is does. The different departments heads talked about what they do on base.

The next part was very cool. As the group walked over to the demonstration area, a Black Hawk came in and landed.

There was a demonstration of some of the target that they use for training soldiers.

Next the group had a chance to ask the soldiers questions about their equipment. The group was able to get in the Black Hawk helicopter and some of the vehicles that are on the base.

The Yakima Training Center Fire Department and Selah Fire Department did a joint demonstration of a car fire and rescue to show their partnership.

There was a lunch break on Base at the Pacific Rim Cafe’. The food was very good.

After lunch, the group took a walk over to the medical helicopter area. The crew of a medical Black Hawk explained what their jobs were and gave a tour of the helicopter.

This was a very educational day on the Yakima Training Center.

Here are some photos of the Yakima Training Center open house:

Report & photos by Clay Graham / Selah Adventures – Selah Community & Tourism.

On the evening of Friday October 9th, 2015 the Selah Chamber of Commerce held their 11th Annual “Cowgirl Up For A Cure” event at the Selah Civic Center.

“Cowgirl Up For A Cure” is an annual Fundraiser for the Selah Chamber of Commerce. A portion of the proceeds are donated to charity. This year’s charity was “Children’s Village”.

At the event there was a catered dinner by Daniel’s Kitchen, live music, a full bar for drinks, a fashion show, raffles, silent auctions, Costume Contest, Cutest Cowboy Contest, many vendors and more.

This was a very fun time for the ladies and for a great cause.

I want to give a special “Thank You” to Carmen Lowrie for letting me sit at her Nerium booth.
