There were cookouts, pancake breakfasts, concerts on the lawn at Chapman School, and many outdoor games. All of this was accomplished with volunteer help and donations.
The results were well worth the effort and a new Memorial Day tradition for Anchor Point has been established.

There have been numerous sightings of brown and black bear in the Anchor River Valley and all along the Anchor River.
The Bears enjoy the salmon too, just use common sense and be aware of their presence during the warm-weather months.
Happy Father's Day to all the area dads.
Have a relaxing day, go fishing, let the kids take you out to dinner or fix breakfast for you.
