brigade days

Every September, Hope celebrates its birthday with a weekend-long celebration called Brigade Days, including a parade, a carnival, fireworks, logger sports, a demolition derby, and the crown jewel of the weekend, the Briggie Ball. Entrance to all festivities is granted with purchase of a "Briggie Button," flat wooden pins that are currently on sale all over town. I haven't been around for Brigade Days since I was seventeen, and the Briggie Ball is 18+ so I've never attended that at all. And I am super bummed we're leaving Hope before September because LOOK AT THIS YEAR'S LINEUP!!!?!!:
