Day Full of Events Around Ridgefield.
“One hundred years ago, on August 20, 1909, the sound of church bells, firecrackers, and the whooping celebration of townspeople greeted the incorporation of Ridgefield, Washington. A special election had been held that day and incorporation was favored by a vote of 62‐12.” Excerpt from the Centennial Book written by Rebecca Standal.
Join in the Centennial Celebration of Ridgefield on August 22, 2009. There is a day full of events scheduled throughout Ridgefield, beginning at 9 am with the All Weather Walker’s Volksmarch at Abram’s Park; and ending at 10 pm after a good old Barn Dance, also at Abram’s Park.
But, there is a lot going on in between. There will be music, food, games and activities. Antiques, tours, talks and competitions. When was the last time you saw a “Best Beard” competition?
