Local favorite Dakota Poorman lit the stage at 5 PM, setting the energy high, while The Olson Brothers Band wrapped up the night at 9 PM — a beloved local staple whose return year after year proves their magic and the community’s deep connection to live music. What began with a portable stage has blossomed into a beloved annual tradition, and organizers are already plotting an even bigger, better show for next year — proving this event isn’t just about music, it’s about bringing Yelm together.

Keep Your Dog Safe in Hot Weather | Seattle News

Your pup’s paws are at risk in the heat—hot pavement burns, humidity traps their cooling panting, and their coat is their sunscreen. Skip the shave, hydrate smart, and chill them with mats or baths, not fans. Walks? Early or late. Flat-faced breeds and light-eared pups? Extra vulnerable. Never leave them in a car—even five minutes can be deadly. Heatstroke signs? Heavy panting, glazed eyes, dark tongue, drooling, collapse. If temp hits 106°F, act fast: cool them with water (avoid head), fan them, and rush to the vet. Cool them down first, then drive.
