On behalf of the board of directors of the Sedro-Woolley Chamber of Commerce, I want to thank everyone who came and took a step back in time for our annual summer kick-off celebration Blast from the Past. Through the rain, sun and clouds you enjoyed great food, arts and crafts, contests galore and over 50 classic cars that lined Metcalf Street on Saturday June 7.
Thank you to Mayor Anderson, Council members and the staff of Sedro-Woolley for assisting with all the necessary preparations that made our event run so smoothly. We are lucky that the following people take such pride in their community and work: Nathan Salseina, Shane Walley, Ray Melton, Kevin Kesti, Josh Clayton and Blair Bunke. They are an amazing group of employees that get the job done with precision and speed.
We had a large turnout at Hammer Heritage Square for the contests that took place. There was great competition and some very good jump ropers, pizza eaters, pie eaters and hula-hoopers.
Thank you to the following businesses for their donations that helped make Blast from the Past 2008 a big success: Pola Kelley, Allstate Insurance; Skagit Surveyors & Engineers; Domino’s Pizza; Subway of Sedro-Woolley; Alfy’s Pizza and Pasta; McDonald’s; Hometown Café; Just Moe’s Steak & Spirits; Hal’s Drive-In; Coconut Kenny’s; Cascades Job Corps; Joy’s Sedro-Woolley Bakery and Café; KBRC 1430; Birchview, A Memory Care Facility; Northwest Tinman and Cascade Fabrics.
Thank you also to Rick Lemley, Tim McCray, Randall Wilson, Eric Thompson, Adrianna McDowell, Patty Smith, Brian Hurst and Jina Williams for making Blast from the Past 2008 spectacular.
David Bricka
Executive director
Sedro-Woolley Chamber of Commerce
Thanks S-W for making it a Blast
