This year we will again have our wonderful Holiday Bazaar featuring locals with wonderful gift ideas for guests to browse and shop.
For those of you coming in from out of town, ride in the comfort of the Amtrak "Cascades" train straight to our Holiday Headquarters. From the depot, attendees will be able to ride on a wagon pulled by Gwen Marshal’s draft horses, hop on the vintage trolley, catch the courtesy van provided by Campbell
