First Friday braids

Morgan Tillman, right, poses with her niece Avery Tillman and her new added braids, left, and her friend Hannah Heintz, who were customers at Morgan's Auntie's Salon booth at last week's first First Friday event, which she helped organize. With 10 vendors and two food trucks it was deemed a success despite moving inside the old Center School at the last minute for rain. "We are so excited for our next one on July 1 back at North Dam Park, featuring Republic Brewery in our beer garden, as well as a local band!" said Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Rachelle Baughman. - Scott Hunter photo
