You will write for Historic-Hillyard.com but should also keep an eye on issues that have broader interest to all NE Spokane and the Inland Empire.

If you’re interested or would like to know more, please contact us at  Volunteer@Historic-Hillayrd.com.   If you have examples of interviews or stories that came out of interviews that you did, please send them along.  We look forward to hearing from you!

 Hillyard Festival, 2005...

Rolling around the festival in a golf cart ("Karenoia Gofer Service") I saw a whole lot of things in short amounts of time. My take is that this years festival was truly a neighborhood event. Hillyardites arrived from all points with family and friends for a stroll among the vendors. The air was vibrant with laughing children, music and conversation, bratwurst and corn on the cob. In spite of the heat, the parade route was lined from beginning to end. Wherever I went, people were enjoying themselves. MORE >>

  Hi everyone,

I would just like to take a minute and thank everyone who helped make this year's Festival a success. Aside from the heat keeping the usual crowd down, it was great. We had so many volunteers for the parade, breakfast and at the park, it was amazing. Thank you all so much.

By the way, A Big Thanks to the VFW for letting us hold the breakfast there. I am not sure how many we served, but it was a great place to have the breakfast. The auxiliary ladies had the room all decorated and everything ran pretty smoothly. If you didn't come, you missed a great breakfast!!!

Thanks,
Desi
HFA President
