CENTENNIAL EDITIONS Begins Monthly
Enumclaw will begin its 100th birthday year with “An Evening of Stories,” a centennial dinner and program on Jan. 27. The event will include historic displays and timelines, special stories and tales from the city’s past and an opportunity for attendees to share stories of their own. There will be a performance by Allegro Women’s Ensemble, along with a family-style country dinner and no-host bar. Festivities run from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Enumclaw Expo Center fieldhouse, better known locally as Pete’s Pool. Tickets are $25 each and can be purchased at the Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce office, 1421 Cole St., or by visiting www.enumclawchamber.com. Tickets will not be available at the door the evening of the event. A centennial committee was formed to plan activities highlighting the city’s special birthday. The group has a three-part mission to commemorate the past, celebrate the present and create the future.
