LAKE CHELAN THIS WEEK

T

he Manson Fourth of July fireworks show is one event that is not cancelled this year.

The Manson Chamber of Commerce board of directors discussed whether or not to hold the event and decided that of all the events it typically sponsors in a year this one could be compatible with social distancing, according to executive director Debbie Conwell.

The Chamber will not be sponsoring the Independence Day celebration and concert in the park this year, and people are being encouraged to view the fireworks from their homes, boats or cars.

Those who decide to view the fireworks from the street or the park are asked to social distance and wear masks.

As usual the show will be staged from a barge in Manson Bay and will begin at 10:15 p.m.

There will be no fireworks show in Chelan this year, so this show will be the way for the entire community to celebrate Independence Day.

The Chamber needed to raise $25,000 for the fireworks show.

Much of this money is usually raised during the Stars and Stripes Auction. Without any auction or event, the Chamber was within a few thousand dollars of reaching the goal as of June 25, according to Conwell.

Conwell said that the Chamber framed the need by telling people that 1,000 people needed to give $25 each to make the event happen.

“We’ve had the community come in with their $25,” Conwell said.

“It seems like people are just really wanting to have something,” she added.

Though other aspects of the

afternoon festivities will not be happening this year, there will still be a FA-18 flyover around 1 p.m.

The fighter will be flying over both Manson and Chelan.

Conwell said that the Chamber discussed the show with local emergency services departments and all of them gave their support, which helped the board to make the decision to move forward.

In a notice on the Chamber website, the group is encouraging anyone who has a compromised immune symptom or who is experiencing signs of illness to stay home.

INSIDE STORY

The exterior and gardens of Lone Pine Fruit & Espresso are as inviting as ever.

LONE PINE FRUIT & ESPRESSO TAKES ON A SHARP LOCAL FOCUS Lone Pine Fruit & Espresso sells local jams, honey and hard cider.

LAKE CHELAN THIS WEEK

The interior of Lone Pine Fruit & Espresso has been redesigned to meet the needs of social distancing.

A

fter closing by choice for 63 days at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Lone Pine Fruit & Espresso in Orondo opened May 19 with a distinctly local plan for weathering the pandemic.

This season will be about selling the crop from the Lone Pine Or-

ESSO ESPR

chard, which includes cherries, apricots, peaches, apples, nectarines and plums. It will also be about selling crops from neighboring farms like berries, eggs and seasonal vegetables.

Cherry harvest is currently underway in the orchard and the stand is selling Rainiers and Bings. They have local asparagus for sale, and more vegetables will be maturing soon.

The gift portion of the stand will be focused on products created by local companies and individuals, like salsa, soaps, hard ciders, metal artwork, pottery, rope baskets and painted signs.

“It just became our new focus,” store manager Jenny Robelia said of the concentration on local products.

The store also decreased its daily hours from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. to 8

a.m. to 4 p.m. The purpose was to give staff more time to prepare the store in the morning and to disinfect at the end of each business day.

They created a new layout with two rows within the building to allow people to social distance more easily. They removed all indoor seating.

The deli is still open and customers are welcome to take their purchases to the outdoor seating area or anywhere in the large and beautifully-kept garden. Don’t forget to check out the koi pond. The stand is both kid and dog friendly.

Food options include homemade fruit pies and other baked goods, which complement the complete line of Blue Star Coffee espresso options available at the stand. They have 16 flavors of hard ice cream to go on their own or as pie toppings.

The deli creates made-to-order sandwiches and serves soups year around.

They also sell local wines, ciders and craft beers.

“We try to keep things feeling as normal as possible,” Robelia said.

Usually the stand features live music events, but those will not be happening this season.

In terms of gift items, here are some things to look for when browsing at Lone Pine Fruit & Espresso: Out of Ashes Soaps Sharon Craig of Okanogan has been making soap as a hobby since 2013. In 2015, wildfire burned all around her house, leaving the yard in ashes. The name “Out of Ashes” seemed to be the perfect one for the soap company she took over that year. Soap used to be made from ashes and Craig knew that beauty can come from ashes as well. Out of Ashes Soaps sold at Lone Pine Fruit & Espresso include simple bars scented with essential oils and decorated with dried botanicals; colorful, whimsical soaps which express Craig’s creativity and facial bars of activated charcoal and essential oils.

Jim Neupert’s Pottery Jim Neupert of Twisp has been creating pottery for over 45 years.

INSIDE STORY

Pottery by Jim Neupert of Twisp is displayed on one of the shelves.

His best selling lines in this area are the “mountain and horse” line and the “quail” line. He makes up to 70 different items in standard sizes for each line, so customers can add to their collections year by year. Some of his best selling pieces are cups, bowls, chip and dip servers, pie plates, and a variety of

serving dishes. All of his pottery is microwave, dishwasher and oven safe. In ordinary times, Neupert teaches pottery classes at his studio in Twisp and also at his studio in his winter home of Kona, Hawaii.

Mima’s Famous Salsa Mima Cole, together with her

three children and her husband Todd, perfected her salsa recipe 25 years ago. Mima, Todd and their youngest son, Luca, turned this hobby into a business one year ago and the first store they sold to was Lone Pine Fruit & Espresso. The salsa is produced in Entiat from as many locally grown ingredients as possible. It is made fresh to order, and this comes through in the flavor. The company has committed to donating a portion of their proceeds to widows and orphans. Check out their Facebook page at FlavorfulHeat for a list of stores in Chelan and Douglas Counties that sell the salsa.

Chasing Grace Designs Jennifer Wittig of Mansfield started painting signs five years ago as a hobby. Now she sells her signs in shops in Wenatchee, Waterville, Chelan, Orondo and Mansfield. Before social distancing she was holding DIY sign parties and wine and sign gatherings, both in

her home and at customers’ homes and public settings. She hopes to begin that aspect of her business again when it is possible. Her signs are a rustic farmhouse style and are designed for a variety of rooms, seasons and moods.

Head n’ Heel Rope Recycling Roger Heiserman is a resident of Waterville who recycles rope and horse shoes to make beautiful western-flavor decorations. Look for his horseshoe art, including welcome signs, horse collar bordered mirrors and deer-horn decorated baskets.

Re-Joice Quilted Treasures Joyce Huber, also of Waterville, sells small purses that sit at the hip. These have three zipper compartments and come in a wide range of colors.

The stand is located four miles south of the Beebe Bridge on Highway 97. It will be closed this July 4th.
