Now that all the entries are in, it’s time to announce the winner.
Please join the Clark County Fair, Peace Health, Vacation Internationale and Live! Local Media, in saying ‘congratulations’ to… (drumroll, please…)

Join Heisen House Vineyards this Saturday, October 6, 2012 for their 3rd annual Crush Festival from noon-6. They’ll be making wine, plus have food, music, arts and crafts vendors, activities for the kids, and more.
“Join us this Saturday as we celebrate harvest, run the equipment, squash some grapes, and show you up close and in person how wine goes from grape to glass.
Thanks to the hot summer, the grapes have come in earlier this year so we’ll be making our 2012 Sangiovese this time starting around 2 p.m. We’ll also have a sampling of different types of fresh red and white wine grapes for you to taste so you can see for yourself how unique each type tastes right from the beginning.” ~Heisen House Vineyards
The Clark County Master Composter/Recyclers will teach a free lasagna gardening workshop on Thursday, October 11, 2012 from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Clark County Food Bank (6502 NE 47th Avenue, Vancouver, WA 98661).

This coming weekend, October 7, is the Portland Marathon. Portland? you say. I thought this was ‘Clark County’ Live!?
True, as your hyperlocal site for all things Clark County, we traditionally don’t ‘do’ Portland… but there is a ‘Couve connection here. Susan Arney, Executive director of the Clark County Volunteer Lawyers Program, is participating in her *first* marathon. (Which will give her a 1-0 lead over me, but I digress). :) Susan has been training since February, and legs willing, her goal is to complete the entire 26 miles, 385 yards. Or about 50,000 strides, for those of you trying to compare it to your daily stroll with the dog.
The best part in her journey is that she is raising money for the Clark County Volunteer Lawyer Program. You can see the pledge sheet here. The Clark County Volunteer Lawyers Program provides free legal services to low-income people with Civil (not criminal) issues in the State of Washington in Clark County courts.
