Cascade Foothills Chorale Celebrates Plateau History in May 18-19 Show

“Coal, Cows, Timber & Trains,” the Cascade Foothills Chorale's celebration of Enumclaw's first 100 years comes to the Chalet Theatre Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19. Both performances will be matinees at 2:30 p.m. The program will include guest appearances by Native Coastal Performers and the Bon Odori Dancers from Auburn's White River Buddhist Temple.

The concert features songs about some of the industries that helped make Enumclaw and other towns on the plateau successful: coal mining, dairy herds, logging, and the Northern Pacific mainline, with a nod to the hop fields, horses, and local weather. Also, there will be some very silly audience sing-a-longs.

Support for this concert comes from Chalet Arts Showcase Theater (C.A.S.T.) and 4 Culture. Admission is $10. This concert is also a collection point for non-perishable food items for the local food banks.
