Equine Ambassadors This is a favorite of Elaine's - a nonprofit that maintains a retired draft horse, educates members about driving, and offers historical education about draft horses.
Mid Columbia Traditional Arts and Music Association This is a favorite of Phil's - a nonprofit that promotes our favorite music during the annual Sacajawea Bluegrass and Dutch Oven Cooking Festival. Weekly music jams and occasional concerts keep the area pickers learning new tunes. The organization also provides historical reenactment for school children and the public during Heritage Days.
