RAYMOND - For the next five days, Raymond's unofficial town song is "Happy Birthday."
After months of planning, the city's Centennial Celebration is here, and the whole town is ready to party. Some activities started today, but things really get rolling this weekend.
The celebration's "about camaraderie and learning historical information about our city," says Jeanne Jones, one of the centennial coordinators.
Mayor Bob Jungar predicts a full house all weekend - music to the ears of local businesses. In addition to the centennial, an All-School Reunion and the annual Willapa Harbor Festival are also on deck.
Celebrants may have a hard time fitting everything in this week - from sidewalk sales, vendor booths, a High School open house, food, entertainment, a parade and a big fireworks show.
