carnival
Cotton candy, sticky candy apples, churros, giant stuffed animals in brilliant colors, and rides that make your head spin are all a popular part of the Mason County Forest Festival and we are so glad they are back! The Mason County Forest Festival carnival will open on Thursday, June 2 at 5 PM. This year the event will be located downtown on 1st and Grove Streets in the vacant lot at the former Mell Chevrolet location. Thank you to the Mell Family for your support of Forest Festival! Kids of all ages will be thrilled to see the much anticipated return of the rides and “fair” food as well as plenty of games with a variety of prizes.

Festival Memory DICK LINN (1954)
I remember mom and dad herding all of us kids, there were four of us, five counting my mom's cousin, into our '54 Ford to head down town for the logging parade and logging show. After the parade, dad would give each of us kids a dollar for the carnival it was at the end of town on Railroad at that time. Oh did I mention a dollar was a kings ransom to a 5 year old in 1954?"
