Operating Cam's Swing- A step by step tutorial!

We just got the final rendering for the sign to be placed above the entrance to Cam's Swing and it looks amazing! It will be CNC cut from stainless steel on both sides with a black plexiglass core. I have to give a big shoutout to Rich Riehl, Curtis Melder and Morgan Benson at Janicki Industries for all their help creating and designing. The level of detail and intricacy in their work is pretty incredible. Thank you to everyone that has had a part in this project!

We had a successful pour! Twelve yards poured and finished before the weather got hot. Could not have done this without huge help from Brandon Peck, Chance Peck, Kevin Kesti, Nathan Salseina, Mike Loey, and Brent Schiefelbein. A Great crew and we knocked it out fast. Thank you for all your help and hard work! Hoping to have swing structure set by end of this week and fence work the following. We are getting closer! 👍

Thank you to the Sedro Woolley Summer Concert Series and Kriss Rothenbuhler-Johnson for your generous support of Camryn’s swing project! Camryn loved listening to music so this is a fitting fundraiser for her project. We look forward to rocking out at Riverfront Park this summer for a good cause! 🙏🏼

ANNOUNCEMENT - BANDS FOR 2020
We received over 80 band submissions between August and January and 4 have been selected over the last few weeks (it was not easy!). These are some great groups, local and will put on a great family-friendly show. I tried to mix things up a little more this year, adding more rock and alternative sound. Of course we still will have an amazing blues/rockabilly/funk and a country band to finish of the season with. Here is what we have and some links to their music if you are curious.

7/19 – Lemon Creek (a tribute to women in rock)

7/26 – Michele D’Amour & the Love Dealer’s (Rhythm & Blues – Dance)

8/2 – Desolation Sound (Rock)

8/9 – Harvey Creek Band (Country/Blues)

Also, for the last couple of years we have had a raffle each week and the proceeds have gone to a local charity. Last year we raised over $2K for Helping hands and the year before supported Fostering Together. This year we
have chosen Cameron Helgeson’s Memorial Swing to raise funds for. I believe this will be an amazing addition to Riverfront Park. The Rotary Club has already contributed and the city has approved the equipment. We just need help for the ground supplies. https://www.facebook.com/CamrynHelgesonMemorialSwing/

I am looking for sponsorship from our local businesses (starts at $1K) so please contact me for further information. I'll keep you posted from here until July!!!
