Leavenworth Centennial
The Leavenworth Centennial Parade will begin at 12 noon September 2
and winds through downtown streets. Entries will be tied to
historical themes and grouped in the order of the decade in which
they first appeared in Leavenworth: loggers, the first hospital,
early churches and schools, renowned town marshal Dude Brown
(portrayed by current Chelan County Sheriff Mike Harum), dairies and
orchards, ski jumpers, local service clubs, festivals and more.
Dozens of dignitaries and descendants of Leavenworth pioneers will
appear in the parade along with floats, horses, antique cars, bands
and special exhibits.
The U.S. Postal Service will release a special commemorative stamp
cancellation that day, which will be available for purchase in City
Park between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Also on sale will be commemorative coins, buttons and pins bearing
the centennial logo.
At 3 p.m. in the City Park gazebo, actors and musicians will present
an original radio play based on Leavenworth history. “Captain
Leavenworth Meets His Maker” was written by Seattle playwright
Elizabeth Heffron and is produced by Icicle Broadcasting. The live
one-hour performance features talented actors, musicians and old-
fashioned sound effects to guide the audience back through various
scenes in the town’s colorful history. The radio theater production
will be broadcast on KOHO-FM, 101.1, on Sunday, Sept. 3.

Hike Of The Month
Icicle Creek Trail is the featured hike. This trail traverses both
banks of the Icicle River. A great trail for those that want to
experience the magic of the Icicle Valley without significant
elevation gains. One side of the river is dry and sparsely vegetated
while the other is a canopied forest. Mid-way through the hike you
will cross a bridge over roaring waters. Take a minute to relax here
and enjoy the cool breeze generated by this roaring, surprisingly
powerful creek
