Inaugural Ball
A great time was had by all at the first-ever (to our knowledge) Imogene Inagural Ball on Sunday, January 12th to celebrate the incoming Mayor & City Council Members. This semi-formal event was also a fundraiser for the restroom & shower facility at the trailhead in Imogene, for which it raised over $1,000. Congratulations to Mayor Kevin Olson, Councilmember Bill Morrison, Council Member Kate Dornburgh, Councilmember Pat Williams, and thanks to all who partook and donated for the cause! Pictures are compliments of Jessica Snyder Photography and Laurie McGargill.

Thanks for another great St. Patrick’s Day!
We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who helped us through our 4th St. Patrick’s Day here in Imogene! It’s hard for us to believe it’s been that long! We still couldn’t do it without the great support from all of our customers, employees, friends, family, and total strangers who pull together to make the celebration great every year! We were glad to have March 18th off to rest, but we’ve already got the countdown clock going for next year! THANK YOU! Kevin, Becca, & Solon
