Penwawa peaches are ready

Dusty

Peaches are on at Warm Springs Ranch orchard on the Snake River. Call Brian Jones for an appointment to pick, 509-397-3314.

Four-year-old Iris Assareh spent seven days helping her grandfather, Mark Vogler, with harvest. Iris was accompanied by her parents, Anna and Chad, and brother Owen, one year old. Iris was able to experience all that harvest can offer. She was able to drive truck and combine, service the machinery and prepare meals. She picked peaches, swam in the Snake River and did all manner of craft and cooking projects. Iris and her parents were especially impressed with the stars here in Dusty since city lights bleach out the stars where they live.

Denise Kendall returned to her home in Tacoma Monday after completing harvest operations with her brother, Brian Broeckel. Saturday, she and her sister, Doreen Riedner, went to Walla Walla to visit Jack Dorman. They stopped at the home of Keith and Lelia Zaring for a visit. Sunday she went jet skiing on the Snake River with Danny Rathbun.

Audrey Nafziger Bowlin, Findlay, Ohio, and Connie Nafziger Hopkins, Spokane, visited at the home of Karen Broeckel Friday evening. Both women are Dusty natives. Audrey will spend a total of six weeks in the area visiting friends and family, riding combine during harvest on their land and visiting places that are part of memories of her younger years.
