April First Friday Event - "Spring into History"

April First Friday Event - "Spring into History"

 

Our history is cool! Join the Downtown Camas Association for a fun celebration of Camas history at April’s First Friday, April 1st, 5-8pm. Activities include:

• Play the “Guess About Camas” history game in participating businesses, learn about why Camas is so great, and be entered to win prizes from the merchants!
• Origami demos and kids’ crafts by Yuki Martin to celebrate our paper and Japanese Sister City history
  • Fun fact: Yuki is from a little town next to one of Camas’ sister cities, Hosoe-cho.  Her high school in Japan, Seirei Christopher, has had an exchange program with Camas High School, and she attended a similar school in its exchange program.  That was her first experience living in the U.S., and 20 years later, she still lives in this country, in Portland, Oregon.
