Ryderwood News 03.19.14

It’s official! Ryderwood’s Spring Craft Fair will take place during Mother’s Day weekend, May 9 & 10. While Ryderwood has held Craft Fairs for nearly 10 years, the Spring Fair skipped a year so we don’t call it "Annual". Let’s just say, it’s time to "Spring into Summer" and there will be a wide variety of Mother’s Day gifts to choose from. Interested vendors should contact Marty at (360) 295-0096 for information and to get an application. The fair features only hand-crafted, hand-made or home-grown items.

Back by popular demand, will be Jan’s Brown-Sugar Meatloaf at Friday’s Café dinner. Make your reservations early, because it’s almost always a full house for this meal. The price is $8 each and includes everything from salad to dessert. Beverage, too! And no sales tax! Contact Linda @ (360) 295-0875 by Wednesday to make reservations. Tickets are also available before Tuesday’s Nutrition Lunch meal.

Tuesday’s Nutrition Lunch on March 25 will be: BBQ Beef Sandwich with Potato Salad, Baked Beans and Orange Slices. Call Jan at (360) 295-0597 by 8 p.m. on Monday to make or break reservations. The suggested donation is now $3 per meal, which is still a bargain. All Senior Citizens (60+) are eligible for the "pay what you can" price. It is also OK to "pay it forward" or order additional meals to help offset recent funding cuts. C.A.P does an incredible job of providing services to many throughout Cowlitz Co.

This is Music at the Café week with "Open Mic" at 7 p.m. on Saturday and Karaoke at 6:30 p.m. on Monday. Both promise great evenings of home-grown music, so even if you don’t perform, they are great opportunities to hum along and clap your hands. Of course, come before 6 p.m. on Monday and enjoy delicious burgers and home-style soup.

Have a great week!
