Members and friends of the Wasco County Pioneer Association will next meet on Saturday May 3, 2008, 10:00 a.m., at the Calvary Baptist Church, 3350 Columbia View Heights in The Dalles for the 86th Annual Reunion and Meeting.

Members as well as the general public viewed the thousands of photos on the memory picture boards.

An entertaining program is available, as well as the traditional salmon bake. This catered luncheon costs $10.

Several graduation classmates hold a mini reunion on this day. Wasco Couny Pioneer Day is always an excellent time for everyone to get together and renew old friendships.

THE OLD WOODEN SPEARS

This Benjamin A. Gifford photo of the Indians spearing salmon at Celilo has preserved for us their ancient use of the wooden spear, the kind they used before the coming of the white man. This photo is one of the thousands in the Wasco County Pioneer Association collection.
