"Twilight Territory" launched, Thunder Weekend


Chris Cook, editor of the Forks Forum (weekly newspaper), has published a guide book of the Forks/La Push area for the "Twilight" books fans, named "Twilight Territory." He was at Thriftway (grocery store here in Forks) today to sign books and talk with people. When we were there, he was inundated a few times with fans, some traveling in packs - or are groups of fans called giggles? [Geese are gaggles, so fans should be giggles, don't you think?] Along with Chris, were Traci Kettel (shown in the picture) and Janeen Howell, who was away helping a group of fans find the Twilight clothing in the store. I tried to take a picture while Janeen was there, but she didn't stay still for long... There is more information about the book here : http://www.forksforum.com/twilight .
We got three copies, one for us, and two for daughter and granddaughter who are fans.





This is also the first West End Thunder weekend of the year. West End Thunder is a local car club which hosts car races at the local airport. We aren't racing fans, but there seem to be a lot of them who come to watch. These pictures were taken from the road as we went by.






After the heat...



Revving up...
They also have a Show and Shine of cars and bikes.

Forks Open Aire Market ...

... is finally open for the summer. Hooray!

It opened last Saturday, the 23rd.

We like going to the FOAM. The local artisans have

interesting items; we get to catch up with people we haven't

seen in a while; and, it's a fun day out.
