Columbia Home Brew Exhibition in Charbonneau’s Libations will be announced at 9 p.m. Throughout the evening Lewis and Clark re-enactors will entertain and instruct. The really big bash is the $75 per-person, 6-to-9 p.m. dinner Saturday, Aug. 6, which is capped by a fireworks show at 11 p.m. Saturday events begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at midnight. These include science classes and demonstrations with assistance from the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. Musical entertainers are Clark County Old Time Fiddlers, Jan Michael Looking Wolf, Wapato Tribal Dancers, Rock-A-Roos, Saints & Sinners, and Five Guys Named Moe.
