Our partners in Kalama have shown remarkable support. Ken, who has allowed this gathering since 2017, will be retiring this year. Please show your appreciation and bring a small gift (a small basket is suggested). Thank you for any donation in advance.

You can get as much cedar as you can process that day. “Processing” means stripping sections from logs and then removing the outer bark. The weather should be nice.
