Yards sales, Salmon Bake fill Pateros June weekend

PATEROS – Between Move Night in the Park, the annual Salmon Bake sponsored by the Pateros Booster Club, and more than a dozen residences participating in the annual City-Wide Yard Sales, there was almost too much to select from during the June 23-25 weekend.

In all 14 yard sales from Riverside Drive to Dawson Street offered just about everything potential buyers did not realize they needed. Maps were available at city hall to make it easy for visitors to find every site.

Movie Night in the Park kicked off its summer season showing Wonka on Friday, June 21, The next movie night will be Kung Fu Panda on July 19, during Apple Pie Jamboree.

The August Hydro Races will include the final movie night feature, Wish, on August 16.

The always popular Salmon Bake sponsored by the Pateros Booster Club included native cultural presentations of bead work, basket weaving, and something new this year, the Tule Mat Project organized to construct a longhouse on tribal property north of Winthrop.
