MOSES LAKE The Downtown Moses Lake Association’s first Neppel Family Picnic Saturday wasn’t huge, but it did draw people to a park they might otherwise not think twice about.
MOSES LAKE – Music, shoppers, bean bag tossers and fun took over downtown Moses Lake near Sinkiuse Square on Saturday as the Downtown Moses Lake Association celebrated three decades of serving the community – an anniversary ordinarily symbolized with a pearl if it were a marriage.
“It went well,” said DMLA Executive Director Rosenda Henley. “It was a good turnout for being a first event.” .
MOSES LAKE On the first Friday of every month, the Downtown Moses Lake Association hosts Coffee and Conversation for business owners and others who want to express their concerns about life downtown and find out more about what’s going on in the community.
“So far, we've had different guest speakers. We’ve had people from the city, we’ve had the Columbia Basin Conservation District, we’ve had Samaritan Hospital. We’ve had different entities come and do presentations,” said DMLA Executive Director Rosenda Henley.
MOSES LAKE Jennifer Shipman and her daughter Tiffany were busy helping sweep the alley between Broadway and Third Avenue Saturday morning, all part of the effort by both the Downtown Moses Lake Association and the City of Moses Lake to clean up the city.
“I try to help whenever I can,” said Shipman, a commercial loan officer with Banner Bank in Moses Lake. “Whenever I can fit it into my schedule, I try to help out.”
