We took a ride this morning to see if the Pit is being policed and taken care of until it reopens.
Beer cans were laying around but everything is blockaded.
We took a few snapshots for you though. It was a foggy morning and a bit chilly but the sun was out in areas and the ride, all 4 miles of it from Index up Reiter Road, was a pretty ride.
The parade was a lot of fun this year. Our Mayor, Bruce Albert, once again led the parade in due format.
The parade was a few minutes late getting started, but this Webmaster had a great time and did not care!
The following photos were extracted from a PowerPoint Slide Show. There aren’t any photos really from the local end, but they are interesting none the less.
01.18.09 – WE GOOFED!!! We added even more photos today (13) courtesy of Heidi Ludwig. I personally had them on my flash drive and forgot about them. All of her photos were emailed to us and they are all of Snohomish. Snohomish got hit pretty hard during the flooding (maybe not as bad as Pacific but it was bad). Thank you Heidi for being one of our out of town reporters.
Well, Mayor Bruce Albert once again climbed the tree in Dolittle Park as he has done yearly since 1980, to pull the lights up the tree.
Bill Cross and Dean Johnson were there to assist and I was there to shoot “snapshots” or so I thought. I ended up helping out a bit as it really is a 3 man project on the ground with a 4th man up the tree.
Anyway, below are some shots for your viewing pleasure. Trying to find Bruce in the tree is kind of a “Where’s Waldo” scenario. OH, and don’t forget, the lighting is on Thursday after the play in the school gym.
Hope to see you there.
Shot these “snapshots” at 9:45am today. The river is rising and we are hoping it does not crest. You can hear the debris and logs crashing against the banks in some spots.
We were out and about today and fired off a few “snapshots” of the fall colors.
The pics were added to the website and may be viewed at:
