Saturday, March 28th, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
There will be birthday cake, balloons, tables with information and artifacts from the area’s coal mining history, and a chance to take your photo with Milt! Glimpses of Sasquatch have been rumored! Kids will be invited to a self-guided scavenger hunt to scour nearby trails for forest plants that are blooming and historical artifacts.
To learn more about Milt Swanson’s legacy, last year’s birthday celebration, and efforts to Save Coal Creek, check out this Alpiner article.
This is a rain-or-shine event—we will have tent canopies. Registration is not required. The event is free and open to all.
My family and I are descendants of James Greggs of Newcastle and are “First Citizens” of Washington. Are these displays still up to view?

Paulette: I believe that Jim was an avid hinter and fisherman. I believe that one of my uncles, Numa Thirion, was often his hunting partner. Would love to visit with you. Please reach out.
