Shoutout to the .main.street volunteers who continue to show up for Downtown Ridgefield.

Last year alone, Ridgefield Main Street volunteers contributed more than 1,200 hours supporting Downtown events, beautification efforts, community initiatives, business support, and experiences designed to help preserve the unique character and charm of our Downtown.

Downtown doesn’t thrive by accident. It thrives because people choose to invest their time, energy, creativity, and care into this community.

Every tree well cared for, every event supported, every visitor welcomed, and every connection created helps strengthen the heart of Ridgefield.

As we prepare for Discover Downtown: First Fridays and a busy summer season ahead, we’re incredibly grateful for the volunteers who continue to help make this work possible.

Thank you for investing in Downtown Ridgefield.

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

As we pause to reflect on their courage and sacrifice, we’re grateful for the traditions that help keep their memory alive in our community.

The American flags lining Downtown Ridgefield each Memorial Day are placed by Ridgefield’s American Legion Post 44, creating a visible reminder of those we honor today.

From all of us at Ridgefield Main Street, we wish you a meaningful Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Thank you Clark County Historical Museum for bringing History on Tap to Ridgefield Old Liberty Theater!

🍻 Two nights down into our new History on Tap season at the historic Old Liberty Theater in Ridgefield, and friends… Clark County is showing up!

Tonight, we gathered for a screening of "Our Mr. Matsura," followed by a conversation with filmmaker Beth Harrington, who joined us in person to share the documentary and answer our audience's questions.

The film tells the story of Frank Matsura (1873-1913), a Japanese-born photographer who made his home in Okanogan County in the early 1900s. Through portraits full of humor, warmth, and connection, Matsura documented Native people, settlers, ranchers, shopkeepers, workers, families, and friends... not as stiff figures from the past, but as full, vivid people. And that is where the magic is.

Matsura’s photographs feel startlingly alive. Playful. Collaborative. Human. They remind us that history is not just what happened, but it is who was seen, who was remembered, and who got to help shape the story.

Huge thanks to Beth Harrington for bringing "Our Mr. Matsura" to our community, to everyone who joined us tonight, and to the wonderful team at the Old Liberty Theater for making our new History on Tap home for the 2026 season feel so welcoming.

Tonight was made possible by our season sponsors, Old Liberty Theater and Ridgefield Main Street, with media sponsorship from The Columbian and program support from Enspire Arts and Silver Keys Media.

Here’s to historic theaters, good conversations, and the kind of history that stays with you after the lights come up. ✨
