Dick Hannah Honda’s 2011 Honda CR-Z or $15K Giveaway, in the news!

Dick Hannah Collision Center Repairs Vehicle of Gold Star Widow. In January, Gale Johnson lost her husband, Jeremiah, whose Army vehicle rolled over in Baghdad. Recently, Gale was in an accident a few short days after and her auto insurance had lapsed. Larry Smith of the Vancouver City Council and the Community Military Appreciation Committee contacted the Dick Hannah Collision Center for help, and we responded by providing parts, paint, and labor at no charge to the Johnson family. We delivered her Audi on Tuesday, and are proud to be of service to a community member in need.

This video really makes you think about your purchases! Do you spend local here in Vancouver WA?

Dick Hannah Honda would like thank all of our Dick Hannah employees for all of the generous donations made this Holiday season AND we would like to thank The Hannah’s for matching all of our emploee’s donations! We were able to not only provide the wish list of 32 people in the Arc of Clark County program, but we were …also able to contribute monetarily to Northwest Children’s Outreach, Share of Vancouver Washington, Second Chance Companions and The North County Community Food Bank! Also, Dick Hannah Honda adopted 2 families this season to provide food and needs for their families and would like to thank all of our Facebook fans who were able to come by the store and drop off donations! See the photo below…We were able to get these two families everything they need and a few wants as well THANK YOU EVERYONE!

A local Vancouver, WA student, Kevin, shared this project with us at Dick Hannah Honda. He created an animation for a class assignment and utilized an abstract Honda Civic Si. We think it’s great! To view his other work visit his YouTube channel…. http://www.youtube.com/user/myheadfeelsswollen.

Tomorrow in Vancouver WA, “A Christmas, Carol” at Slocum House Theatre! A great event to welcome December. Make it a date night or bring the family, either way this is great local fun right here in Vancouver! I have not had the chance to go in the past, I think this will have to be the year. I am very much in the Holiday spirit early this year! And don’t worry, if you are not able to attend tomorrow…shows going on until the 19th! Many chances to get out and about and take in a great show.

This weekend will be the perfect pumpkin patch weather! Sunny with a cool fall chill and NO RAIN! If you have not made it out to get your fall decor already, here is a great list of local places to choose from thanks to The Columbian. Many places have exciting family fun to make the pumpkin patch a day event. I myself will be heading to one of these fantastic patches this weekend…..hope the little ones are as excited as I am Carving, painting and Pumpkin Cookie baking, here we come!

Busy Bi-Zi
Bi-Zi Farms is probably the busiest Clark County farm in October. In addition to families trekking through the fields on weekends, the farm offers school tours during the week. Attractions include hay rides, a corn maze, a petting zoo, duck races, a straw bale maze and pyramid and live music. But the pumpkin launch is what really sets it apart among the Clark County options. Admission gives you two flings.

When: Every weekend in October; 2-5:30 p.m. Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

The corn maze remains open 6-9:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

Where: Bi-Zi Farms, 9504 N.E. 119th St., Vancouver.

Admission: $8, free for children 2 and younger. Admission includes a pumpkin of any size and a hot drink. While children 2 and younger receive free admission, they do not receive a free pumpkin.

Admission is $5 for the night-time corn maze Fridays and Saturdays.

Telephone: 360-574-9119.

City farm
You can pick a farm pumpkin without leaving the city at Joe’s Place in Vancouver. It doesn’t cost to get in, and you can stop at the farm store for other fruits and veggies. Hay rides are $1, as is a try at the hay-bale fort maze. Expect a crowd. On October weekends, as many as 2,000 people visit the farm a day.

When: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Hay rides are offered only on the weekend.

Where: 701 N.E. 112th Ave., Vancouver.

Admission: Free, but pumpkins, hay rides and the maze cost extra.

Telephone: 360-892-3974.

Pumpkin people
Pomeroy Living History Farm in Yacolt offers a mile-long hay ride through Pumpkin Lane, which is lined by pumpkin-headed scarecrows. “We call them pumpkin people, instead of scarecrows, because we don’t do scary,” said Bob Brink, director of the nonprofit educational farm. The trip ends at the pumpkin patch, where visitors can pick out a gourd. Other attractions include a hay-bale maze, petting zoo, children’s games, scarecrow-making and food at the farm’s cafe. The farm draws as many as 1,000 a day on October weekends, but Brink said Saturday mornings tend to be a little less busy.

When: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 1-5 p.m. Sundays in October.

Where: Pomeroy Living History Farm, 20902 N.E. Lucia Falls Road, Yacolt.

Admission: $5, $4 for children 3-11. Admission includes a hay ride.

Pumpkins are not included in admission.

Telephone: 360-686-3537.

On the Web: pomeroyfarm.org.

Frightland
La Center Farms is fairly new to the pumpkin game. “We’ve only been doing it for three years,” owner Steve Boynton said. “We’re still working things out.” He admits the farm doesn’t draw near the numbers that the other farms do - maybe 80 visitors a day compared to the thousands at the other spots - but that might be just right for those who find crowds to be a little too frightening. Kids can’t get stuck in the tree maze, which is set off by ropes they can duck under. A potato gun fulfills the urge to propel produce. The last two weekends of October, the farm will introduce a scarier element: Nightmare Theater in the barn, which features a 15-minute play about a witch looking to land a man, and the Haunted Woods walk. Each costs $2.

When: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays in October. The Haunted Woods walk and Nightmare Theater are open from 7-10 p.m. Oct. 22, 23, 29, 30.

Where: 31215 N.E. 40th Ave., La Center.

Admission: Free. Haunted Woods and Nightmare Theater, $2. Pumpkins are extra as well.

Telephone: 360-573-8965.
