There has not been a heck of a lot going on lately. This webmaster was
busy in July with a visit from his brother and his wife from Omaha, NE.
It's always good to get reacquainted with loved ones after many years apart.
We had no time for the "touristy stuff" though. We visited relatives in
Covington and Shoreline and crammed 2 weeks of visits into 4 days. The
wife and I are still recovering. Have you ever tried to put 10 pounds of
potatoes into a 5 pound sack? We pretty much accomplished that.
DON'T FORGET (This info is in the newsletter twice) - On August ,
2009, the Index Arts Festival will be in full swing beginning at 10am. The
President of the group, Yvonne Lawson stated there will be over 40 booths, 16
bands with 40 musicians, edible art and much, much more.
AND - Mark your calendar for August 22, 2009
for the 7th annual Skykomish Show n’ Shine Custom Car & Hot Road show in the
Town of Skykomish, located just 13 miles east of Index.
It appears that August will be a busy month for the small towns East of Goldbar.

July 4th Past Event:
There was a super turnout on Independence Day within the town. We met a
lot of people that are subscribers to our newsletter.
The parade was a huge success and there were more people and floats in the event
than we normally have.
Check out our Blog to view photos of this event.
Don't Forget:
Don't forget that on August 1, 2009, The Index Arts Festival begins. Mayor
Bruce Albert will do the opening ceremony at 10 am sharp.
According the Index Arts Group President, Yvonne Lawson, this will be the best
festival yet since its inception six years ago.
There will be over 40 booths with artists displaying and selling their wares.
Edible Art will also be on the menu.

At the previous Town Council Meeting, Sgt. Rob Martin was in attendance.
Martin stated that 2 arrests have been made on June 9, 2009 in reference to the
vandalism, thefts, and burglaries that have been happening over the past few
months. The arresting officer was Deputy Cook from Gold Bar. The arrests
were made within the town of Index and Sgt. Martin said there are possibly three
more suspects yet to be arrested in connection with the incidents.

Thank you to David Meier of A Cabin on the Sky (www.acabinonthesky.com)
for extending his ad on the Home Page of IndexWa.org for an additional year.
Last but for sure not least, a big thank you to Michael S. for his generous $10
donation to IndexWa.org.
All of these folks combined, have given us breathing room for a couple of
months. As this webmaster is unemployed currently (with no end in site)
and the web site bills don't stop coming in (software upgrades, hosting, extra
costs after xxx emails a day, the SQL server and a few other items are not free)
their generosity has made IndexWa.org possible for a few months to come..
We have an envelope on my desk that has advertiser monies and donations in it,
all targeted for IndexWa.org. We don't spend it on anything else. It
was empty as of July 1 and is now just "low". You folks are GREAT!
PLEASE - If you are looking for a home to buy or a place to stay for a few
nights or a week, we ask you to support our advertisers and donors. All
pages on the site are advertiser supported. They are what makes
IndexWa.org possible.

Julie Reinhardt, empowers women to take their place back at the fire. In
She-Smoke, Reinhardt gives step-by-step instructions on a variety of barbecue
topics, from buying local, sustainable meats, to building the perfect slow and
low fire, and smoking a holiday barbecue feast. She includes a host of delicious
recipes aimed to teach women technique, with more in-depth instruction than that
of a conventional cookbook. Women will learn the elusive history of ‘cue, the
difference between true barbecue and grilling, and all about the world of
barbecue competition. Featuring interviews with other “smokin’” women and
stories about Reinhardt’s family, She-Smoke brings women into the greater
community of barbecue.
