FORKS — Hickory Shirt/Heritage Days continues today through Sunday.
On Wednesday, Richard Halverson was named Pioneer Logger by the West End Business & Professional Association. Other events were held Thursday.
The annual celebration, which has the theme of Stump Stories — West End Homesteading, fetes the history of the West End, based in logging and hard work. Residents are urged to wear their hickory shirts, blue-grey and white striped shirts worn by loggers.
Admission to the Timber Museum at 1421 S. Forks Ave., will be free all days of the celebration.
A special display is planned all week in the Forks Library.
