17th Annual Forks Chamber of Commerce "Wine & Cheese" Fundraiser
Written by Mike GurlingDon't miss a gala evening sponsored by the Forks Chamber of Commerce, which benefits the Visitor Information Center.
The evening includes a silent auction, wine & beer tasting along with soft drinks and snacks. Music is also included along with some great socializing while you are placing your bids on some unique items.
Cost is $10 per person which includes two drinks. Another highlight of the evening are awards given to the Citizen, Volunteer and Business of the Year for Forks. This year the theme is "Just say cheese..."
While the TV show AX MEN is in re-runs the real thing can be seen every Wednesday for free, courtesy of the Forks Chamber of Commerce. Logging & Mill Tours, offered at no cost by the Forks Chamber, leave from the Forks Visitor Center at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesdays, May through September. The 2 1/2 to 3 hour tour provides a real view into the logging industry in the Forks area. Each tour, led by a volunteer experienced in logging and local forestry, is unique. The tour usually includes a visit to a working mill & logging sites as well as being jam packed with valuable information about forestry and logging. Reservations are strongly encouraged as the tours fill up quickly. Come experience the real danger and drama that loggers face every day, and get a better understanding of our local logging heritage. Call the Forks Visitor Information Center for more information 360-374-2531.
