At the meeting of the Knights Ferry History and Museum Associates the upcoming Peddler’s Faire was discussed. It will be April 24th. This is the 25th year of the Faire! Also on the agenda was the heating and air fund. An electrician is needed to upgrade the building before the unit can be installed. Carol Davis told of Betty Irvine turning 100. She painted the backdrop of Lover’s Leap in the church.

The Voortman family took their “summer” vacation over the winter time off of school and went to Southern California to tour around. They really enjoyed viewing the Rose Parade floats after the parade where they saw them up close and could see how they were made. Also Happy Birthday David!
