GREAT NEWS CATS! The snow has melted away and it looks like the sun will be staying as well. We have a few more weeks until we’ll be feeling that warm breeze, but there are plenty of things to do leading up and after here in THE BURG.
I was surprised to find this website that lays everything out involving Ellensburg for you in one place. The Ellensburg Downtown Association https://ellensburgdowntown.org/ has many portals to explore for every season. Well, thanks to their Spring Event page we have many things to look forward to within the next few months. Here’s a quick look into what the town has going on.
