Jim Bob's 5 Annual Show & Shine Car Show & Auction

We stopped in to see Lori Shine in their new "Shine Specialties" store front. It's amazing! They have a lot more room. It's open and spacious. Their grand opening will be on August 19th. She gave us a flyer for a fundraiser that she and her husband sponsor. It's "Jim Bob's 5th Annual Show & Shine Car Show & Auction" which helps our wounded heroes from JBLM. This fundraiser is near & dear to their hearts.

George is making a bridge, with solar lights, to donate to this auction. You'll be able to see it soon at Shine Specialties. Go in and say "Hi" to Lori. Tell them George sent you!

Sassy Seafood

Sassy Seafood is one of the vendors at the Thurston County Farmer's Market on Wednesday.  They are a 7 year old company, that uses "sustainable" fishing practices. 

Their albacore tuna is caught in the cold waters of of the Pacific Ocean.  Their canned tuna comes in larger portions then we're used to seeing today in our stores.   Top quality at an affordable price.

Property Tax Exemption Information 2017

The Department of Revenue has forms for seniors and disabled people, so they can get a Property Tax Exemption on their property taxes.  Below are copies of the information about what's required to be eligible for this reduction in property taxes.  The forms can obtain at the Thurston County Assessors office:  

When we went down there, someone at the front office filled out the forms for us.  We brought in all of the necessary information with us to be able to have this done.  It's a simple process.  The people working the front desk are very helpful.
