Rain Festival - Feb 2009 Photo Gallery

Gallery Home › Rain Festival - Feb 2009

The 7th annual Official Pacific Northwest Rain Festival was again spoiled by nice weather. A hardy band of locals celebrated our rainy season with rain poems and a rain gear fashion show and the petting of the pooch for predicting how many more weeks of rain we will have this winter. Here are photos of the fun taken by Tim Chandonnet and Stephanie Johnson.

Waiting for the arrival of the Queen and her court. And hoping for rain. Chuck Robinson of Village Books was the Master of Ceremonies. He did an outstanding job which means someone else will do it next year.
