Dog Mountain Farm in Carnation offers a weekend summer dinner series that features an area guest chef and winemaker. The chef prepares a gourmet meal using the farm's and other local products and serves it with wine pairings. It all takes place outdoors in an apple orchard overlooking the Cascade Mountains. Owners David and Cindy Krepky will welcome us to their 25-acre farm with smiles, cham- pagne and sparkling water. A tour of the farm will show everything they grow and how they take care of their animals. We'll also learn about sustainable growing methods that result in nutrient-dense food with superior flavor and longer shelf life. Dinner will be served on white- clothed picnic tables with stunning views of the Tolt River Valley. The chef will explain each of five courses, all prepared in an open-air kitchen and served family style, and the winemaker will discuss the pairings. Spread over three hours, the dinner takes a leisurely pace and allows time to savor the bounty of our area. Gather your friends for this memorable evening.

A docent will lead us through the exhibits of beautifully crafted displays, historic photographs and artifacts. By then you'll be ready for lunch with a view at Copper Falls Restaurant on Auburn Golf Course. Our final destination is the restored 1880s Mary Olson Farm, King County's best-preserved historic subsis- tence farm. In the early days, the farm was a source of timber and hops. As times changed, the Olson family used whatever skills and resources they had to make a living, diversify- ing into raising cows, harvesting apples, farm- ing potatoes, hunting and more. Also on the National Register of Historic Places, the farm features an 1897 barn, a fully restored farm- house, and a collection of outbuildings, including a smokehouse, outhouse and weav- ing house. Walk in the footsteps of the past Historic Auburn and the White River Valley Friday, June 15 NEW Step back in time as we visit Auburn's Neely Mansion, the White River Valley Museum, the Mary Olson Farm and an unusual little antique store. Built by some of the area's earliest settlers, the 1894 Neely Mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a designated King County landmark. The house has been largely restored to its former glory and is one of the few remaining examples of Victorian-style farmhouses once commonplace throughout the region. Enjoy tea and treats before a guided tour of the mansion. Then it's on to Bananas Antiques to view a whimsical col- lection of Washington Banana Museum artifacts, folk art and cultural oddities devot- ed to the No. 1 selling fruit in the United States. After a short visit, experience down- town Auburn of the 1920s in the White River Valley Museum. Life-like settings invite you to climb aboard a period caboose, WHITE RIVER VALLEY MUSEUM
