October will be the final First Saturday Market for 2019. The new monthly event has gathered many great vendors and activities to the very center of Deer Park and has been a bright spot throughout the summer. Join your neighbors at Perrins Field, October 5th from 10am-2pm, for a last hurrah and be sure to tell the organizers at the Chamber of Commerce if you want the market to return in 2020!
In Memory of Don/Donnie Gilmore

In 1973, Don enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served on active duty for two years. In 1983, he graduated with a degree in education from Eastern Washington University. Don was a beloved teacher at Springdale Elementary for 25 years. He even got to teach his two sons when they were in the fifth grade (much to their chagrin!). He retired in 2015.
