Train rides run all weekend at the Northwest Railway Depot, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.Saturday starts early with the three fun runs—1K, 5K and 10K—hosted by Run Snoqualmie. Fill up at the Snoqualmie Fireman’s Pancake Breakfast, starting at 7 p.m. at the Snoqualmie Fire Station. The Grand Parade hits the pavement at 11 a.m., and you don’t want to miss the amazing talent that shows up to stroll, roll and dance down Railroad Avenue. Immediately after the parade, the three stages fire up again and so does all the rest of the fun. Wagon rides are available for free at Carmichael’s hardware, the Field of Fun is hopping inside the train yard and includes the W-trak modular trains and Lego Dan along with musical performers, bouncy houses and carnival games. There are also speeder motor car rides.

By working with vendors to find a place for their materials and making recycling easy for visitors, unnec-essary waste will be kept out of the landfill.

Festival at Mt. Si Special

A cut aboveSee timber sports in action

at RR Days demos

It’s the first time in a good two decades when Snoqualmie sight-seers have had a chance to wit-

ness timber sports—whirling chainsaws, flying hatchets, swift-slicing axes—in action.

Lucky for locals, then, that they’ll have a chance to see these skills employed by a world-class master athlete.

Snoqualmie’s own David Moses, who competed in the Stihl Timbersports U.S. Championship this past June, heads up a roster of experienced timber athletes in three Timber Sports Demonstrations at Sandy Cove Park.

Besides David, you can see Annette Moses, David’s wife and a pro timber athlete in her own right, perform, as well as David Moses, Sr., an experienced tim-ber sports enthusiast and David’s trainer.

Also coming are Natasha Strand, David’s second cousin, who does timber sports, and Robert and Kathy Groce. Robert is an experienced chainsaw tim-ber athlete. Kathy does chopping, single-buck sawing, and other sports.

Snoqualmie Public Works Director Dan Marcinko and Police Chief Steve McCulley have been tapped to try the double-buck saw.

You can also see Snoqualmie firefighters in action on some of the events, as well.Timber shows are at 1, 3 and 5 p.m. at Sandy Cove Park, sponsored by Puget Sound Energy. R&R

Rentals is providing swag.Expect to see underhand standing chop, springboard chop, the single and double-buck saws, the

jack-and-jill sawing event, and an axe throw. You’ll also see demonstrations of the hot saw, a modified chainsaw that’s revved up and a cut above your typical tool.

Moses will also be inviting a lucky few from the crowd to try their hand at the axe throw at each show. You don’t need to be super-strong to throw the axe —just do what Moses tells you.

Snoqualmie’s David Moses fires up his custom hot saw dur-ing the Stihl Series. See Moses and other competitive timber athletes in action at Railroad Days, 1, 3 and 5 p.m. Saturday.

Railroad demonstrationsThe history of successful railroad construction and maintenance is peppered with fascinating machines. The Northwest Railway Museum has a number of examples in its collection and Railroad Days is an opportunity to see some of them demonstrated. You’ll see motor cars, a tie spacer, an automatice spiker, a ballast regu-lator, and even special cranes that travel on both the railroad and the road. Demos will be given at 12:15, 1:15, 2:15 and 3:15 p.m at the Snoqualmie Depot.

Pancake breakfast helps your firefightersThe Snoqualmie Firefighters Association holds its annual fund raising pancake breakfast, 7 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, at the Snoqualmie Fire Station, 37600 S.E. Snoqualmie Parkway, for Railroad Days.

The non-profit association helps support Snoqualmie Fire Department special equipment pur-chases as well as charitable organizations and historical preservation within the community.The event provides a firefighter-cooked pan-cake and ham breakfast as well as SnoValley Coffee Company’s coffee, OJ and other bever-ages served in the apparatus/equipment bay at the fire station. Cost is $5 for adults, $3 for children; diners younger than age 5 eat free. Also planned are photo opportunities for the family with firefighters and emergency vehicles, and a kid’s photo ID booth.There will be a raffle ($2 per ticket) for items under $100 from local businesses and a silent auction for larger items—in years past, this has included overnight stays at the Salish Lodge, golfing at TPC, gift certificates from the Woodman Saloon, Snoqualmie Railroad Historical Society, local restaurants and spas as well as other business gift certificates. T-shirts, bike helmets and bandanas for pets and people are available for purchase, too. To learn more, call Snoqualmie Fire Dept. at (425) 888-1551.

When the whistle blows, run! River scenery races by for runners cruising on Mill Pond Road and over the Snoqualmie River bridges during the Railroad Days 5K, 10K and children’s fun run. It’s the surroundings, as well as the speed, that makes the Railroad Days run the premiere fast and flat course in the region.“It’s hard to find scenic and flat-and-fast in western Washington,” says Sean Sundwall, race organizer. For the fifth year, Snoqualmie’s summer run is a 10K championship run.

For runners in search of their best times, flat courses are the thing. It’s also a good practice run for high school runners to hone their athletic skills. Sundwall, who happens to be an assistant distance coach for Mount Si High School, encourages young runners to take part.“Running is unique among sports,” says Sundwall. “It’s one of the few thing that’s completely you. There is no team you have to carry. It’s you against the clock. People look at that as an opportunity to challenge themselves.”

The Snoqualmie Railroad Days 5K, 10K and Kids’ 1K runs are Saturday morning, Aug. 17, start-ing in downtown Snoqualmie. Race time is 8:45 for the children’s 1K, down Railroad Avenue. Older runners will have a 9 a.m. start time, announced by the nearby train whistle. The whistle start is a small detail, but appropriate. It’s becoming a fun tradition that gets a lot of positive feedback.Registration is in person at American Family Insurance, next to the 76 Station in Snoqualmie, or online at http://www.runsnoqualmie.com. You can also find course maps online. Entry fees are $16 for children, $37 for adults, and include a shirt, while they last.

Wheels of yesteryearLegends Car Club bringing classic rides to annual car show

Steam-powered trains certainly have their fans, but Railroad Days’ third day is all about gas-powered, four-wheeling classics of the street.

The Legends Classic Car show returns, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18. Members of the Legends Car Club and car buffs and gearheads from all over roar into town with amazing, much-loved and restored rides from every era, from the dawn of motorcars to today’s coolest sports cars.

There are plenty of awards and trophies, plus contests and games for kids. The real draw is the chance to see some the amazing restorations and transformations of cool cars from America’s historic past, or around the world.

Buffs can enter cars, trucks and motorcycles in dozens of different categories. Registration is $15, or $20 on the day of show.

Legends Car Club formed in 2000, and keeps many of its original team.“We try to make our car shows enjoyable and fun for participants and spectators,” said

Legends member Gayle Sneesby. Fun awards are a part of that: The club mixes things up with different awards and games, such as straw-blown toy car races for children.

Weather plays a big part in the success of a car show.“We have our fingers crossed for sunshine for the weekend of Railroad Days,” Sneesby says.The club was originally asked to help park cars for the Railroad Days show, which was man-

aged locally. Later, they were asked to take it over.Profits from the Snoqualmie show are split with the Railroad Days Committee. Proceeds

go to help The Forgotten Children’s Fund, which provides holiday gifts for needy children, the Royal Family Kid’s Camp for abused children, Tanner Jeans Bicycle Rodeo, plus several food banks and senior centers.

Good weather plays a big role in whether the truly rockin’ rides all show up for Railroad Days. But no matter what, die-hard car enthusiasts show.

Railroad Days’ show judges look at cars in 21 categories, from the Chevy Tri-Fives (1955, ‘56, ‘57) to Mopar muscle cars to unfinished models, to the “orphans”—makes that just aren’t made anymore.

Ray Sneesby, show director, says teams of judges check out the engine, the upholstery, “and the trunk, if you want to open it.”

“Some people make it look better than when it was new,” he says.There are a lot of Northwest car shows happening this summer. What draws people to the

Railroad Days show, he explains, is the variety.“You’ve got the vendors, the art show, the wine tasting, live music”—in other words, a lot

more than just hanging out by your car. “We think that attracts a lot of people,” says Sneesby.You can learn more at http://www.legendscarclub.net.

Try your hand at Arts in the ParkCome to Railroad Park for a showcase of amazing art by local creators.Art in the Park starts at 5 p.m. Friday,

Aug. 16, and runs through 4 p.m. Sunday. Painters, potters, carvers, sculp-tors, weavers, spinners, photographers, jewelry makers, journal makers and quilters will be demonstrat-ing and displaying their art for the public to enjoy, and in some cases actually give a try.Help create a quilt for a child in the Ronald McDonald House; weave a section of a scarf and get a chance to win the finished article; lend a hand on a community painting project; play a drum created by John Mullen of the Snoqualmie Tribe (pictured above); listen to folklore artist Bob Antone captivate audi-ences of all ages with stories surrounding his art; and watch a video pre-sentation about Snoqualmie’s history provided by the Historical Society. In addition to a wide variety of visual arts and demonstrations, the Arts Stage and Wine Garden will provide entertainment from talented musicians, vocal-ists, and performers along with a selection of wines to savor. Additionally, the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce building will have an exhibit of railroad-themed art by local artists.

Painting in the great outdoorsArtists of all levels can find inspiration, learn from each

other and participate in the magic of painting in the out-doors during Railroad Days.

At the Fifth Annual Snoqualmie Plein Air Paint Out, happening 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, artists are welcome to explore the city, find an inspiring place to paint, and then share their creations.

“Plein Air” is French for open air, and the paint out is simply a reason for artists to gather and create a painting in the outdoors, in a single day and in a beautiful setting.

“Plein air has become the big thing in art. Of course it goes back hundreds of years to Cezanne and others, but plein air is suddenly what all the artists want to do,” says event founder Jeff Waters. “They love to be outside painting. That’s part of it. The other part is the incredible beauty of this Valley, and the things that are here to paint... this is just a rich tapestry of places to paint.”

Painting happens throughout Snoqualmie’s city parks and key locations, and there are also several venues for instructor demonstrations.

Rules and requirements for participation are minimal and, for those artists who don’t want to enter the poster contest, there’s only one rule: “You have to be on-site, working,” Waters said. Painters can also sell their works, of course. “We encourage that, and we don’t take any commission,” Waters added.

For those who hope to earn an appearance on the paint out poster for next year’s event, there are a few more rules—pay a $20 participation fee, start with a blank canvas, and have it stamped by the organizers—and a deadline of 3 p.m., when the artists’ reception begins at The Black Dog (formerly Isadora’s) on Railroad Avenue. At the reception, members of the Snoqualmie Arts Commission will select the winning entry for the 2014 Paint Out poster.

“The grand prize is the poster selection for next year, which is what artists really want. They want their work to be seen,” Waters said.

New this year, are second and third place prizes - $100 and $50 gift certificates to Daniel Smith Art Supplies. Download a Paint Out registration form at www.cityofsnoqualmie.org.

The Lego Man is backWhat’s cooler than a five-foot replica of the Death Star made from Legos? If you ask Dan Parker, aka Dan the Lego Man, it’s what he’ll be doing this weekend at Snoqualmie’s Railroad Days.

“I’ve been building all kinds of displays, but I think towns and railroads are my favorite,” says the Lego Man. There’s something “mesmerizing” about a moving train, he added.Parker’s past Railroad Days creations included a minia-ture railroad, complete with running trains set up in a little town, and a historic building from the Northwest Railway Museum -- “We’re not up to taking on the depot itself,” he said. Kids can watch as Parker hand-sets bricks for the final details of his creation, then move over to the Lego table to building something of their own in this exhibit, set for the freight room at the museum. Adults might be fascinated by what Parker can do with 25- or 30,000 plastic bricks, but he knows his younger audience can become equally fascinated with their own creations. “Kids love Legos,” he said. “They love to see what other people have made out of Legos, it inspires them, it helps them dream.”Susanna Fuller with the
