The RHS challenges the Scouts to learn Scout History!

The next Redmond Historical Society (RHS) is Saturday, May 9 at 10:30 a.m when Mary Hammerman King will talk about the "History of the Boy Scouts." Meetings are in the Old Redmond School House Community Center. For more information write to: RHS

ATTENTION Scoutmasters! Don't be shy! We'd love to see you "pack" it into the event. (If you had fun touring City Hall, you'll definitely like this!) Here is our personal scout challenge to you: Every scout and scoutmaster attending will be given a can or two of food to give to the charity of your choice. Please call 425-885-2919 with your count! What do you think? Should I make a run to Costco? :)

Last Saturday, the RHS held a multi-media event on the History of the Saturday Market. Unfortunately, I missed it. The following, is an excerpt from the Redmond Historical Society Newsletter:
The Saturday Market -- 3 Decades On


"It’s been a long row to hoe, but the Redmond Saturday Market is now a fixture rooted in our spring, summer and fall. It dates back to 1976 and the late Georgia Erskine, who started it. Georgia is seen at left on May 22, 1999, when she attended the first meeting of the Redmond Historical Society, where she contributed to our history with artifacts like the article she's holding now".... from "The East Side Journal". Do you remember reading that awesome newspaper? I almost forgot.
