Hop Harvest beginning

Hop harvest has begun in some parts of the Valley. Still very labor intensive, this harvest has changed a lot since the scene depicted in this one of the Toppenish Murals. I will have my camera ready when the harvest reaches my neighborhood and document as much of the process as I can.

Harking back

The Toppenish Murals harken back to a bygone day, but so does this earlier bit of advertising ont he wall of the old Liberty Theater building.

Western Heritage

Anoterh whimsical reminder of Toppenish's western heritage is this horse in front of City Hall.

Here's Looking at You

Of all the outstanding murals in Toppenish, I think my favorite sight there is this whimsical treatment of the windows in this building on the main street through town.

Flag over Corn

The largest flag in the state of Washington flies over Toppenish and can be seen beyond this corn field.
