Despite smoky conditions in Leavenworth there were still
plenty of attendees at the Wenatchee River Salmon Festival this weekend. I was
impressed with the amount and quality of the educational events featured at
this year’s Salmonfest. I was able to check out some of the other activities
and discovered that before this weekend I knew next to nothing about salmon.
Did you know that millions of years ago salmon where ten feet long, had fangs,
and weighed over 500 lbs!?

While demonstrating healthy watersheds at Rolling Rivers I
was reminded that our Picture the Wenatchee photo contest is ending soon! If you didn’t already know, Picture the
Wenatchee is our watershed stewardship campaign that promotes healthy rivers
and streams. By pledging your support you can receive a free watershed care
package! Of course the real prize will be the healthy rivers and streams you’ll
be a part of creating. The photo contest will end on October 1st so if you’ve
been meaning to submit those great photos you’ve taken, now is the time! We are
still accepting entries in all categories but are especially in need of “Agriculture”
photos. To submit your photos, check out previous winners, or read up on
contest rules, visit www.picturethewenatchee.com
