4-H volunteers clean Perkins House yard

COLFAX - The Mockonema 4-H club brought more than 30 volunteers to the Perkins House yard on April 25.

After two hours, they left with a trailer full of weeds pulled from the flower beds and the yard at the historic Colfax home.

Perkins House Museum volunteers joined them to perform the work.

"The Whitman County Historical Society is most grateful to the club for their hard work to benefit the yard at Perkins House Museum," said Nancy Rothwell.

Various flower bulbs were sold with proceeds going to the Perkins House foundation repair fund....
