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.

On Friday October 12th, 2018, we set up the Selah Sweets Food Trailer at the Central Washington Agricultural Museum in Union Gap for the Plowing Bee.
The event ran Saturday and Sunday. There were plowing and other demonstrations, horse drawn wagon rides, a tack sale, tractor games, and great food.
The weather was nice both days so many came out and had fun.
We plan to come back next year.
