Planters Days 2013 was a busy time for the museum – The bingo went well with a lot of work from the members, and I would like to thank them for a job well done!

It’s been a busy spring for the Fundraising Committee. After our March garage sale thoughts immediately turned to the Plant/Yard Sale which was held May 10th & 11th. We didn’t have as many yard sale items but it was a good 2-day sale and we thank those who donated. The museum board voted to purchase 2 canopies, so “JJ” picked them up from Costco, made the weights, set them up and they worked great – thanks “JJ”.
The “free” White Elephant Bingo on the 1st Saturday Socials were fun although the attendance wasn’t what we had hoped. John Stark called the numbers and winners liked the “white elephant prizes”. We have discontinued them for the summer and a decision will be made later about continuing.
The Planters Days Bingo was a fun time – the number of balloons for the Balloon Bust was up to 80 this year and made for a festive atmosphere. We also had the new hot dog cooker which worked great. We had a good night taking in more than last year. Coming up with 75 – 80 balloon bust prizes can be difficult. We want them to be new and valued at least $5. It would help if throughout the year (especially after Christmas) if you see an item on sale that would make a good balloon bust prize - pick it up and donate it to the museum for the bingo. We also collect other items throughout the year to use in bingo baskets. Thanks to Joyce Carlson for her artistic talents in putting the baskets together. Thanks also to Louise Bozorth in going out the last days for more donations.
As part of the city-wide garage sale on August 3rd the museum will also have a sale on both Friday and Saturday. Donations for this sale would be appreciated – no clothing other than ‘like new’ clothes. If you have items to donate you can leave a message at the Visitors Center 225- 9552 or call me at 225-5640.
We don’t have a quilt to raffle this year but we will be doing a large Christmas basket to raffle with the drawing at the Snowflake Bazaar.

PLANTERS DAYS BINGO
The annual museum sponsored Planters Days Bingo was held Friday night, June 14th. There were a total of 21 games played with 9 cash games and 12 games with basket/merchandise prizes. Thanks to the generosity of individuals and businesses we had 30 bingo baskets, 80 balloon bust prizes, 30 raffle prizes and 3 fishing rods for the silent auction (2 donated by G. Loomis and 1 donated by Lamiglas). Sixteen of the basket/merchandise prizes were won during regular play and the remaining 14 baskets were drawn as raffle prizes.
A big “Thank You” to the following individuals and businesses whose donations helped make the Planters Days Bingo a success and to Louise Bozorth for her last minute push for donations.

DAIRY OPEN HOUSE
On April 20, 2013, the Woodland Historical Museum held a special open house honoring dairy farmers from the Woodland area, both past and present. The event was attended by about 100 people. It was good to see so many dairy families represented. People came from all over with some families represented by 3 and 4 generations of former dairymen. It was a chance for people, many who had not seen each other for 50 or 60 years, to become reacquainted and talk about old times.
A cake was served that had a copy of the Guild family farm from the 1930’s on it. The original picture is hung in the museum along with other dairy memorabilia and pictures.
Former Cowlitz County Dairy Princesses and others helped churn butter under the skilled hands of Joan Zumstein and Joann Thomas. Most of us had our turn at churning butter at one time or another, but did not remember the details of making and handling the butter after it was made. The butter churn used was authentic first used by Mary Gardner Olson, one of the first Gardner Family pioneers, who came to Woodland about 1853. The fresh homemade butter was available to taste on fresh baguette bread. Samples also were available for guests to take home.
Dairy Princesses that attended the event were Margaret Ferguson Beck - 1961, Nancy Bauer Troyer - 1963, Lucille Witt Tubbs - 1967, Eileen Witt Soli - 1969. Princesses unable to attend were April Leathers Heasley - 1965, Melva Rieck Thomas - 1966, and Kathy Witt Wisbeck - 1978. Woodland has been well represented over the years in this area.
Two dairy people that will be 100 this year were recognized: Byron Ferguson and Mrs. Katherine Lutzenberger. Byron’s younger brother, Charles also attended the function. He is only 96.
The Ferguson Brothers dairy and the Donald Brothers dairy are the only 2 remaining dairy farms in operation in Cowlitz County.
The Woodland Museum is working on a book about the dairy industry in the Woodland area. The book will include generic information and stories of the dairy industry. It will also include articles of each dairy family that ever lived in the Woodland area. Your help is needed. We have a questionnaire to be completed or used as a guide towards writing your families story. We would like a separate story on each generation. If no one in your family wants to write their story, please complete the questionnaire and return it to us, so we can include your family in our book.
To date we have about 150 names of people that operated dairies in the Woodland area – and the list is not complete. Please help us by giving us additional names that you may remember.
Contact person for the information or a copy of the questionnaire is Rosaly Bauer Divens, 360-607- 7200. Email address: [email protected]. Your help is important to make this book as complete as possible.

Do You Remember? - The year was 1962
The big news in 1962 was the destructive Columbus Day Storm where storm loss in the Woodland area was estimated to exceed one-half million dollars (1962 values). Trees were uprooted, roofs blown off, windows blown out, buildings demolished by the 100+ mph winds. The dairymen in the Bottoms were extremely hard hit - barns and outbuildings were demolished, cattle lost and milk had to be dumped without power for refrigeration. Woodland, Kalama and the Lewis River areas were plunged into darkness at 4:55 pm Friday when winds smashed a pair of transmission towers. Reconstruction of a half mile of transmission line was required. The Alibi Café had natural gas cooking and steam table so was able to continue providing service. The Hummel’s Union Station put out 5500 gals. of gasoline during the power outage using improvised small gasoline-powered motors to pump gas. (Lewis River Review) Where were you during the Columbus Day Storm? Ask your neighbors – there are lots of stories out there.
