Music lovers, fun-goers, and people in need of an evening’s entertainment out of the house recently gathered at the “Music at the Grange” event, held in Camden Grange and Community Center. Live, acoustic music from our local, talented musicians filled the evening with tunes from many genres: western, blues, folk, and more. Lots of toe-tapping, sing-alongs, and laughter helped stave off the January cold weather outside – though the big woodstove and circulating fans helped, LOL. Please join us for our next music event, on 19 February, from 7 – 9 P.M., at the Grange, located at 7 Camden Road, Elk, WA. The event is free to the public, light refreshments are served, and if you are a musician or singer who would like to perform at our event, please contact us at [email protected], and provide some information on yourself and your musical talent(s).    Yesterday completed the 3rd annual event and while crowds were small, due to atrocious weather (rain, hail, freeze warnings), we heard good comments about our grange serving our community, and the attending kids were happy and loud - all good signs that we are doing something right. Below are a few shots from the day, including the 3 contestants of the 1st Annual Moustache Growing contest. Let's get more facial hair growing for 2025! We are selling tickets for our Grange quilt raffle: lovingly created by our own Quilting Club, this large quilt features a flock of adorable hens and chicks.
Tickets are available for $2 each, or $10 for six, and you can call Jim at 509-292-0326 to arrange a ticket purchase, or you can leave a message on our website (Camdengrange.org) or Facebook page (Camden Grange and Community Center, in the community center group), and we’ll fix you up! The quilt ticket drawing is scheduled for 15 June, in conjunction with our annual Camden Grange Heritage Day. Tonight, Friday, the 10th of May, is a special evening of wonderful music by the duo of Heidi and Kevin Kuban, at Camden Grange and Community Center at 7 P.M.
Well known local songsters, the Kubans are moving to the east coast, and will be sharing their musical talents with us, one last time! The concert will feature easy-listening music, and Heidi says "We plan to invite the audience to join in, some with motivated hand clapping. Other selections will bring a feeling of closeness - joy is the theme!". Bring the whole family, admission is FREE, donations will be encouraged, and light refreshments will be served. Hope to see you there, Jim Mcginty 509-292-0326 Just based on all the hammering noises emerging from Camden Grange and Community Center this last Saturday, the 17th of February, the beginning leather tooling class, taught by master craftsman Joe Flatter, was a resounding success. Fourteen students, ranging in age from twelve years to “more than I can count” years learned how to wet stamp leather rounds, “spoon” patterns onto leather, how to bevel and edge coasters, and much more. To join the second fun and educational class on 16 March, from 1-3 P.M., you can register for the workshop at the Grange website: camdengrange.org We thought we would pass along this great fungi event happening this spring. Have fun!  Here is the official flier for the Camden Grange and Community Center MOUSTACHE GROWING CONTEST. Starts on or about January 1, 2024 so don't delay in signing up for this Fuzz-Face Tournament! Contest rules and the registration form are posted on th eweb pages above.  CONTEST STYLES SAMPLES  This Saturday, the 21st of October, from 6 - 10 P.M. is our first potluck dinner and dance, in quite a few years - seems a great time for the community to come together for a fun evening.
Grange members will provide the main courses, while community members are asked to bring side dishes, salads, desserts, etc. Admission is free, and music will be provided by The Rocking Chair Romeos - everyone is asked to make a donation to the band.

See you there, Jim Mcginty 509-292-0326 Members of the Camden Grange and Community Center Fiber Arts Community held their monthly meeting in September, with a dozen fiber friends in attendance. New members were welcomed, sheep fleece was traded, wool was treadled into yarn, and a great time was had by all. If you are a hand-spinner, knitter, weaver, crocheter, or raise fiber-producing livestock, please join us on 25 October, from 7-9 P.M. in Camden Grange, located at 7 Camden Road, Elk.  |
