Meet at the Liberty Theater on Sunday, May 26 at 11am and enjoy a tour of historical homes in Camas brought to us by Camas-Washougal Historical Society.

Click this link to find the Roffler Tour flyer with photos of the homes and a description of the tour.

Join historian and author Joseph Blanco of the Camas-Washougal Historical Society as he leads a guided historical walking tour of Downtown Camas featuring the craftsmanship of Camas builder, John Roffler. Roffler built over 200 homes in the area in just under 20 years, many still standing. The tour will focus on those within waking distance along with several notable buildings in downtown Camas built by this gifted craftsman – like the Farrell Building which now is home to Camas Antiques. Enjoy …

We are proud of Kevin Taylor and his exceptional staff to receive this great write up in The Columbian (http://www NULL.columbian NULL.com/news/2013/jan/04/food-critic-picks-top-2012-restaurant/). Says Taylor, “Our customer feedback since we opened in late 2010 has exceeded our expectations. Our Yelp reviews are almost 100% five-star, and the media reviewers have been very good to us also. I think that’s a credit to our fantastic front-line employees and our focus on our mission. We keep our food menu limited, simple and made with great quality ingredients. Our primary focus remains the vintage cocktail experience, which has proven very popular. I think our customers enjoy the old-school drinks, the music and our overall vibe .”
