On Saturday, January 19th, 2019 the Selah Sweets crew got a chance to volunteer for a fundraiser at the Central Washington Agriculture Museum in Union Gap for the “Horse Drawn Wagon Day” aka “Sleigh Day” if there was snow.

It was a cold foggy day, but many volunteers came out to made the event possible to happen. Set up started at 9 AM.

The event ran from 11 AM to 2 PM. There were a lot of people that came out for the fun. People could ride the tractor pulled trams from the parking area to the event area. At the event area there were horse drawn wagon rides, cocoa or cider, bonfire, s’mores, and more!

This was a very fun event. We hope to see you there next year.

2017 Tieton Open House
Report and photos by Clay Graham / Selah Sweets.

On Saturday April 22nd, 2017, the City of Tieton had their annual Open House. There were a lot of things to do around the area.

We had our Selah Sweets vintage vendor trailer out front of the Mighty Tieton. Our three sons sold candy bars to raise money to go to Boy Scout Summer Camp at Camp Fife with Troop 275.

There were a lot of things to see, hear and do inside the Mighty Tieton. The live music was very nice to hear. There was a lot of cool art to see. There were also bugs to look at.

In the mosaic studio we had a chance to ask questions and lean about mosaic. It looks like something fun to try someday.

One of the things my family really enjoyed was, Norman L. Brown gave a wooden spoon carving demonstration. That was very interesting. Very nice work.

This was a very fun time. We are hoping to be invited back to the Mighty Tieton for next year’s Tieton Open House.
