This is an announcement that needs the attention of all Lyle residents. The community council will be holding its annual board elections in November. There are three open positions. If you feel you may have something to offer, here is a chance to express your ideas and concerns as well as the opportunity to benefit your community. Or perhaps you could relay the prospect to a conscientious neighbor with leadership traits who would be willing to contribute to the quality of Lyle. The main thing is for everyone to be supportive of the council, for it is your liaison to the county commissioners.
Anyone wishing to run for a position on the board must submit their declaration in writing either by email to lykensme@embarqmail.com; by letter to Mildred Lykens at P.O. Box 88, Lyle, Wash. 98635; or in person at the next council meeting on Sept. 26 at 7 p.m.
Farmer's Market is still alive with more local gardeners' "extras.: Gorge Grown gave away a free peach to everyone who stopped by its booth at the Saturday Market. The variety of vendors, ranging from the culinary to crafts, set up in the shade of the park trees. From fresh fish to traditional fruits and veggies, baked and canned goods to fresh cut flower bouquets, jewelry and books. The Twin Bridges Museum was open and displayed a quilt that is to be raffled off later this month at their quilt show. Tickets can be obtained by stopping by their table.
Jacob Williams Winery opened a new tasting room this weekend. It will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
