Linda says: Hello all,

Supplies to bring; wheelbarrow, shovel, gloves, landscape cloth (Gary), design plans (Gary), drinking water.
Thanks.  Don't forget to R.S.V.P. at this email address!

Kemp Olson Park offers something for everyone, from the Veteran’s Wall of Honor to three large playground structures for kids, modern bathrooms and a quarter-mile loop to walk your dog, horseshoe pits and the Rose Garden (currently under renovation by Common Ground, first phase installed by the weekend) and our familiar on-site Veteran and local Personality Rick Kindle (who always offers me coffee). Get away for an hour or a day. Covered kitchen in case of showers.

South County Park (Wallace Pond) still sports a few fish from the Kids Fishing Derby along with a ¾ mile paved path, multiple docks for angling or lounging, benches along the way and playgrounds plus bathrooms.

Toledo Boat Launch offers day permits, has a nice pocket park with gazebo and benches overlooking the Cowlitz River. Fishing licenses available at Riverview NAPA and Deli across the street plus bait and more. Don’t forget to take advantage of the LifeVest Loaner Stations at both Boat Launch and South County Parks.

Memorial Day seems to also signal the beginning of Garage Sale Season, truly something for everyone.
