Apple Pie and Ice Cream Social 2025 Thank You!

The Friends of Julia Butler Hansen (FJBH) in coordination with David Hansen hosted a Homemade Apple Pie and Ice Cream Social at the Julia Butler Hansen House in downtown Cathlamet on Saturday September 13 from 12:30 to 3:00pm. The House is on the State and National registry of historic places.… It was very successful.  Thankyou to the 70+ people who attended, to the many volunteers who gave their ime to make this happen, and to Cate McGoffin for coordinating this project.
