The award winning Lacamas Shores Umbrella Drill Team plans to perform at a minimum of three events this year. The Portland Rose Festival Starlight Parade (for the fourth year), Lacamas Shores July 4th Parade and Camas Days. The group plans to march, twirl and amaze the crowd of over 250,000 at the Starlight Parade on June 2. As you might have guessed, this parade takes place after dark and the UDT will be properly lit up for the performance.

For the past several years, UDT entertained their neighbors in our Lacamas Shores annual 4th of July Celebration parade and the Camas Days parade. The UDT has been a winner each year they participated in the Camas Days, winning 1st place three times and 2nd place twice.

Neighbors are invited to join this fun group; all ages welcome as long as you can twirl an umbrella and march. If you would like to be part of the team, contact Sarah Bang. Practice will begin in May. If you can’t participate, plan to attend one of these events to cheer us on.

Spring is here and so is garage sale fever! The Lacamas Shores annual garage sale will be held on Saturday, June 2, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For those who haven’t witnessed this annual event, be prepared for a lot of car and pedestrian traffic. To participate, all you need to do is gather up your “stuff” and open your garage door at 8:00 a.m.. They will be waiting for you.

Lacamas Shores typically has a preview sale for homeowners on Friday evening starting at 5:00 p.m. This has proved to be a popular event for many neighbors who will be busy on Saturday and it gives them a first shot at the good stuff. You may choose to participate in both or just the Saturday sale.
