The Sequim Irrigation Festival

[Jim Olson]

The Sequim Irrigation Festival celebrates the work that D.R. “Crazy” Callen and his partners did to design and develop the Irrigation Ditches that brought water from the Dungeness River to the parched prairie. The first headgate on the Dungeness River was lifted on May 1, 1895. On May 1, 1896 the first celebration took place at Crazy Callen’s farm. This was the start of a tradition that would become the oldest continuing festival in Washington state.

Did you say irritation festival.

Is that not commemorating the first itching powder sold at gag & joke shops?

Here is some info on the making of the festival
I believe it is just a committee

It’s very impressive. I can see that they work a year ahead with a competition for the following years logo design and button!

This is a very creative group! I love it.

Reminds me of the barn decorated painted circles of wood attached to barns on the East Coast.

Local richly crafted!

Now you got me thinking... I'm going to have to look for more places here in town. I'm sure that is not the only place that has the Logos.
TNX for a new quest...
