Nothing as lovely as a day in June….

If it is true, that there is nothing as lovely as a day in June, than there is no place where it is lovlier than in Happy Camp!

Sometimes people tell us that there is “nothing to do” in a small town, especially one as remote as Happy Camp. People really think it is unbelievable that we could be 75 miles from a fast food place, or Walmart, movie theater or bowling! But look at all the wonderful things that we can enjoy that they can’t, unless they come here of course!!
School ended last week, so the kids are out hiking, swimming, and fishing…. and the annual FISHING DERBY at Kelly Lake is Saturday!! There will be kids getting prizes for the biggest and the smallest and the most fish. Kelly Lake is freshly stocked with Rainbow trout each year before this event. Then they have hotdogs for lunch and another day of happy HAPPY CAMP Memories stored away!

Saturday will also be the KIDS FAIR at the River Park. Face painting, games and activities, as well as refreshments and information for everyone. Thanks to Karen Derry and Nadine McElyea this annual event is wonderful for the kids.

Sunday, P.K. Halliman, the famous author will be speaking at the Happy Camp Christian Fellowship at 10:30. THe Fellowship meets at the Elementary School each Sunday at 10:30. Kirk Eadie is the pastor and Kirk will be leading the singing with Alex and Abbye Eadie. David “Mouche” Culbertson is the teacher of the teens, where everyone over ten has Sunday School. There is also classes for the ten and under. While Kirk has been going through the Psalms each Sunday of late, this is a special time for P.K. will be visiting us again. Everyone is welcome!! If you’ve ever read Heartprints or some of P.K.s other books for children to your kids, you’ll be interested to know his latest book is for adults. More on Church page…..

The Klamath Writer’s Club plans a potluck at Tanya’s deck overlooking the Klamath on Sunday. This group usually meets at the Happy Camp Chamber of commerce office at 35 Davis Road to the right of the Post Office. All writer’s are welcome. We are so happy and excited with the publishing of Linda J. Martin’s book, RIVER GIRL. Which is new! I enjoyed reading it so much before it was published and plan to give it to all our nieces! It is a great little book for a young girl to read about what it was like to come to Happy Camp in the 1920’s. You can read more about it at http://rivergirlclaire.com/

Then there are the Lawn Mower Races!! What?? You have never heard of lawn mower races (except for the kids race to get away from the chore????) Well, you must not live in Happy Camp then!! Lawm mower races are the big event by the Outdoor Club. Next week, hopefully, we will update you on who won…..if someone will please let me know!!

In the meanwhile, Happy Father’s Day to all the Daddy’s past and present!!

Thanks to all, Klamath River Community Hall, Seiad Valley Yardsale personnel, HAPPY CAMP LIBRARY and all who contributed to their raffle and Sales. There is more on the Art & Treasure Weekend on the Community Page….but hope to put up more pictures soon also.

Calendar isn’t working quite right so Keep in mind the Rockin the Klamath concert in the park August 4th. We want all you talented Klamath Neighbors to practice up to win the prizes at Happy Camp Has Talent!! The forms for signing up as contestants, and sponsors will be available in the Happy Camp Chamber office soon.
Karuk Family Reunion is August 25th. Seiad Valley Day August also August 25th. School Resumes August 27th and Bigfoot Jamboree is August 31-September 2 at the River Park and the Parade down Hwy 96!

at the Klamath River Community Hall

Greyback Road was open just in the nick of time for this wonderful weekend. Third annual Art & Treasure Weekend, with sales, art shows and fundraisers all along the Klamath River Highway 96 was great fun! Almost forgot to sell stuff at the Chamber office!

Thanks to the Klamath River Community Hall folks who started the event off on that end. It was wonderful and it was great to work with them.

Thanks to the Happy Camp Library who had a big, big book sale and vendors at Bigfoot Corner.

There was a huge four family Sale in Seiad Valley. Siskiyou News helped keep all the Yard Sales and events mapped out so that visitors knew where to go. There were yard sales, moving sales, estate sales, garage sales although I didn’t personally see any in a garage, and a garden sale at Parry’s too!

Next year on June 8th I’d like to just VISIT all the sales but it was a great time this year just visiting with people from all over, and some from Happy Camp that we hadn’t seen in a while! Thanks for making this such a geat social tie to the communities along the Klamath River!!!

Sundays the Christian Fellowship meets at the Happy Camp Elementary School at 10:30. Father’s Day is no exception and all fathers are most welcome to join us in worship. The whole family is welcome!

We will also have a special guest, P.K. Halliman! P.K.has been with us before and he is the author and illustrator of more than 80 children’s books, with over 7,500,000 copies sold worldwide. P.K. first began writing and illustrating 35 years ago when his wife asked him to create a picture book as a Christmas gift for their two young sons.

One of Mr. Halliman’s most recent books, Heartprints, (“The impression left behind by a deliberate act of kindness”) has been adopted by schools across America for its value as a “character development” curriculum.

P.K. is an ordained minister and a nationally noted speaker, whose motivational assembly, Find A Hole and Fill It, has touched hundreds of thousands of lives. He lives with his wife, Jeanne, and three dogs, in the mountains above Ashland, Oregon. His latest book is for adults, A Life that Matters!

Louise and her mother with Senior Project

Louise Kezer had made a fantastic memorial in wood shop. This was Louise and her mother with the memorial at the Senior Project Night at Happy Camp High School. We are going to miss Louise as she graduates soon.

She does beautiful work as we know as she made a beautiful sign for the Happy Camp Chamber of Commerce. The students needed to have done something for Community Service for at least five hours. Louise certainly did more many more, at least five times that with beautiful results! It was greatly appreciated by the Chamber and helped to bring visitors to the office looking information from Florida and Montana and lots of far away places!

Thank you, Louise!

Sinead Talley & Charley Reed Students of the Year!

Charley Reed one of two Students of the Year


Jbushy

At the School Awards, Students of the Year were presented.

The first presentation of Student of the year was presented by Principal Angelika Brown to a student who is “motivated, polite, participates in sports, Student Council and all school activities. This student has shown leadership qualities and has helped organize different events for our school and her tribe. She has hosted exchange students and participated in international travel. She has great common sense and is very intelligent and cultured. We are all proud of her and proud of the fact that she got in Stanford and just represented us all at the White House in Washington DC. The first Student of the Year is Sinead Talley.”

The next introduction was made by Denise Bearding as follows: “When thinking of a student of the year, we look for those who are outstanding in certain areas. This particular student is outstanding in many areas. Some of which have not been recognized before. This student has appeared in front of a variety of audiences and crowds many times over the years and has always been gracious and self—effacing about his accomplishments. Many people may not know about a side which is not quite so obvious. In the area of fine arts, he is focused and creative and has a fine sense of quality and detail that shows in his drawings and other art work. He is thoughtful about what he produces and holds his work to a high level of excellence. In his writing, he is not afraid to put his heart on his sleeve letting emotions and thoughts come to the surface, He has never shirked from tackling a weird writing assignment and is always willing to challenge himself academically. His elementary school teacher remembers him, as I think many of us will today, easy going, friendly, and pleasant and liked by all. He quietly and determinedly focused on his school work, followed school rules, was respectful of his peers and adults and always had a smile to share. This student is looked up to by his colleagues and younger children. For good reason, he is a leader in the classroom, on the court, and on the field; an outstanding athlete and scholar and exemplary representative of the school and the tribe. It is with admiration and pride that we offer this prestigious award to Charley Reed for Student of the Year.”
