was Sunday June 26th at the Perkins House in Colfax, Washington
Cake and ice cream were featured, but hamburgers and other food were also
served.
Dixieland music wafted through the air, old cars were on display,
and there was even a place for kids to draw.
It was great fun while it lasted, but it's all over but the shouting.
But the
good news is that it is all
going to happen again soon!
