The public is invited to participate in the Annual Potato Dig at the Cowan Heritage Garden (south on the Hoko-Ozette Road just west of Sekiu). The event, scheduled from 2-4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, also includes a meeting of the Friends of the Hoko River State Park Board of Directors.
This annual fall celebration marks the coming of fall by harvesting potatoes and welcoming community elders to share memories of life in the Hoko River Valley. Board members and others will summarize the events of the year and plan for the upcoming year. Guests are welcome.
The Hoko River State Park includes the Cowan Heritage area and the Little Hoko River Trail, offering a beautiful and level rain forest walk. The Friends of Hoko River State Park host Sunday visits, coordinate volunteer work and maintain the Heritage Gardens. For more information or donations, contact Friends of the Hoko River State Park at 360-963-2442 or e-mail able@olypen.com.
