One of the best things about spring is grabbing a coffee and going on a neighborhood stroll. Spot friendly felines, smell the flowers, admire the craftsman houses you probably can’t afford (same). If you’re nodding your head in agreement, we have the perfect idea for you.

Enter to win tickets to the Skamania Sip & Stroll in downtown Stevenson, WA on May 16. Take the opportunity to explore the town, shop at local businesses, and enjoy live music.*
