Three Together will perform at the next Noon Concert this Wednesday, Aug. 2, in Esther Short Park. Presented by Imagine Homes Realty, LLC and the City of Vancouver, the concerts are from noon to 1 p.m.

These three musicians first met at an open mic in Vancouver in 1994. Soon after, flutist Judy Koch and acoustic guitarist Don Mitchell formed a duo and began performing local gigs. In 1997, Portland fingerstyle guitarist Doug Smith joined the group. This acoustic trio play Baby Boomer-era folk, pop and soft rock tunes using tight vocal harmonies.

Families can arrive early for Science in the Park. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., prior to and during every Noon Concert, children can try hands-on crafts and experiments, all designed for fun and learning about water, nature and the environment. This year’s theme is “Taking Care of Our Changing Planet.”

Washougal Arts and Culture Alliance (WACA) invites the community to welcome the newest addition of Washougal’s public art on Saturday, Aug. 5, at 10 a.m., at the Washougal Police Station, 1320 A St. “Forever Faithful” is a life-size bronze sculpture of a Belgain Malinois, a common breed of police service dog, that sits watchful and majestic atop a basalt column just outside the station entrance.

Prominent bronze sculptor Susan Bahary created the piece and will be at the ceremony to speak about the sculpture and her process. Bahary is internationally acclaimed for her inspiring sculptures honoring the animal/human bond and service animals.

The Washougal sculpture is a replica casting of the original “Forever Faithful,” which is part of the Enduring Valor Monument at Cedar Hill Pet Cemetery in Texas. The Discover Washougal Art Map, created by WACA, is a handy guide to find the growing number of works installed throughout town. The map can be found at www.washougalarts.org.
