The Port of Grays Harbor, along with the Grays Harbor Council of Governments, cordially invite the public to attend an open house regarding the Port’s Recreation Lands and Facilities Plan.
he open house is the public’s opportunity to learn more about proposed future plans for the Port’s various recreation sites and provide feedback to help shape the Plan’s final goals and objectives. The Port is developing a Recreation Lands and Facilities Plan so that it may become eligible for state and federal funding in the future. The open house is one of several public participation opportunities offered during the planning process. The Plan is scheduled to be adopted by the Port Commission in early 2016.
Why kids should get all the holiday fun? The Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad is hosting our second annual Santa Express Silver Edition train ride, exclusively for riders 21 and over! You’ll feel like a kid again as you take a festive, peaceful ride along the Upper Nisqually Valley while sipping cocoa, nibbling on cookies, listening to Christmas music and visiting with Santa. This year, Heritage Distilling Company will be onboard to assure your ride is merry and bright. Enjoy special hot chocolate, spiked cider, and loaded eggnog at a no-host cash bar. It’s great for couples. It’s fun for friends. And it’s only for riders 21 and over! Seating is limited and our Santa Express rides fill up fast, so book your seats as soon as possible.
Grab your best girl, because Seabrook and Wishkah River Distillery invite you back to 1933 to celebrate the “End of Prohibition” at the Town Hall on the 82nd anniversary of that joyous day which made all of our lives just a little more enjoyable.
Master Distiller, Josh Mayr and his crew will be pouring samples of their distinguished line of spirits. They will also be serving craft cocktails for purchase, all evening.
Starting at 7pm, Jacob Miller and The Bridge City Crooners will fill the hall with the sounds of Vaudeville, West Coast ragtime and swing. So find your fedora, polish your wing-tip shoes and spiff up that bow-tie, we have a night of revelry and merriment planned for you.
Here’s a quick link to make sure your shoes are dance-ready.

Although donating blood hardly sounds like a fun way to prepare for the holidays, the Elma Grange is encouraging Grays Harbor residents to give a gift that matters this Christmas season.

Join us to celebrate his accomplishment!
