I asked a few people a while back, "You know you live in Chelan County, Washington when..." and some of the answers were pretty comical yet very true! Here's what they said.

Businesses that win “World’s Best” are highlighted by the local people who have taken the time to vote for their favorite gift shop, chiropractor, toy store, and even, Best Radio Station. Banners get made for the different winners, and “bragging rights” (humbly of course). Remember this is a vote by the people, making it highly respectable, and helps highlight companies that just plain rock. Just to be nominated is a really cool feeling. It’s like, “Hey! Someone noticed us!”

The Oscars are this Sunday March 12th. Every year I try to watch as many of the best picture nominees as possible. It was a much easier feat when there used to only be 5 nominations. Now every year there are 10. It can be a daunting task. I have done fairly well this year,

Happy Hour, something I actually grew up knowing about. Every weekday from 4p-6p my dad always visits our local waterhole in Pateros, sit down with the good ole boys and have a nice cold one or two. Actually, I didn’t know it was called “Happy Hour,” I just thought from 4p-6p that it was “dads going to town time.”

Long gone are the days of the average person getting their photo film printed. We have all just dove into the phone pictures, digital pictures to be uploaded to a computer, to even photographers have a “cd” of photos as an option to purchase. But what happens when you want to get an actual photo printed and put into a frame?! Where can we go to locally? If you are like me, when I get photos printed, I want them NOW. Haha No, I don’t want to wait for the photos to be shipped to me.

Since I was a little girl, I have ridden down Highway 97 between Brewster and East Wenatchee. I could almost do the drive with my eyes closed, but I won’t because, well I do value life. But one question I have never been able to answer, until now. How many fruit stands are there between Beebe Bridge on Highway 97 to East Wenatchee? Plenty of orchards and fruit, and plenty of fruit stands!
