Royalty Watch
It's summer break for our Royalty Court. To celebrate their first weekend of summer vacation they took a quick trip south and braved the rain to join Directors and Volunteers at the Tekoa's Slippery Gulch Parade!
The ladies enjoyed breakfast with Director Joan Petow and greeted local residents and visitors. It was then time to hop on the amazing "Swing Into Spokane" float and head down the streets of Tekoa. A big "thank you" and "way to go" to Brad Hamby on his first successful driving of the float!
The Court gets a much deserved break to enjoy the upcoming 4th of July holiday with friends and family and then back on the road to Olympia for the Capital Lakefair Festival on Saturday, July 14th. For more information on this festival,

. If you would like to join us as a Director or Volunteer, please let the
office team
know as soon as possible.

Change in Office Hours for Summer
|
|
It's the first official day of summer and the sun is calling!
Next week will be the official last week of regular office hours. The office will be closed for the summer starting July 2nd until August 13th. Although Cecelia and Christy will stop by the office periodically during this time to check mail and any messages, it will be intermittent.
If you need anything during the time the office is closed, please give the
Lilac Cell Phone a call 509-951-6317.
Happy Summer!

Do You Have Any Lilac Items at Home?
|
|
Here at the Lilac Festival we are so lucky to have such great members, volunteers and friends that pitch in not only during Festival week but all year long. During this time, Lilac items (decorations, signs, bins, etc.) get taken to various locations. We are now on the lookout for any items anyone may have helped take home and store after any of our events this year.
We will be creating an inventory list of where items are stored (Float Barn, office, homes, etc). If you have any Lilac items at your home, or know someone who does, please let our office team know so we can add these to our list. We appreciate those who are willing to store Lilac "stuff" - this will just make it easier to guide all of us to where this "stuff" is located.
Again, we appreciate all of our amazing helpers and we are looking forward to working with you all again in 2019!
