Market Sale Update — THANK YOU!

We’re happy to share that all buyers have paid, and all market sale checks to our youth exhibitors have been mailed! Thank you to everyone for your patience, understanding, and continued support throughout the process. We appreciate this community and everyone who helps make the Market Sale possible.

We also want to give a special shout-out to our Treasurer, Heather Harrell! She works hard behind the scenes long after the sale is over to make sure everything is processed and everyone gets taken care of. We’re so grateful for the time, dedication, and support she gives to our youth and this program. Thank you Heather!

A piece of local history has been brought back to life! Stop by the corner of Main Street & 3rd Avenue in Ellensburg to snap a photo in front of this beautifully restored mural!

Originally painted in the early 1980s by Sven Sundbaum, this iconic piece has been refreshed by the original artist himself, just in time for Labor Day Weekend! 🇺🇸

We were excited to work alongside the Ellensburg Rodeo and Kittitas County Fair to help bring this piece of local history back to life.
