Hi All!

Last year I posted about a wonderful Non Razor Related Event held back where I was born as were my father and grandfather; (Pomeroy Washington).

My great grandfather homesteaded there. He registered his brand (the Diamond D) at the Alpowai P.O on December 20th 1887 in the Washington Territory.

The museum is a wonderful place, I am very proud to have been able to donate several pieces to it.

Only a few of the Davis family are still present, the many other family members (both through blood and or marriage) are still thriving. My cousin still farms part of my great, great grandfather's homestead that is on my mothers side of the family.


The annual event is held the first weekend of April, come rain or shine. This year is is Friday the 3rd, Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th. Saturday is the big day.


Here's the link to my thread about it last year;

Eastern Washington Agricultural Museum | Garfield County

I'm working on a display of a W&B Frameback circa 1840-1860 that Glen put period correct horn scales on and Tom donated a very old strop to go along with it. Martin came up with some historic prints and my friend Bill did some wonderful work for the diagram of the razor and other items. I'll post about it when it's finished.


Also Very Close by is the Pataha Flour Mill, you might want to check this out also;

My father used to talk about trading X amount of wheat for X amount of flour there.

I do hope at least some of my friends here in the Pacific North West can make it to a wonderful family event.
