"Thursday nights June thru September the Columbia View Amphitheater in Historic Riverfront St. Helens becomes the living room of the community. Families & friends gather to enjoy a variety of music with the beautiful Columbia River as a backdrop. An Open Air Market offers options for dinner and a variety of merchandise vendors to peruse as well."

Yup!  That's what it was.  Diane, Lyle, and I went to downtown St. Helens this evening to enjoy the music and food.  Even though it looked like it might rain, the temperature was mild and the waterfront area was crowded.

We cut through this little alley to get from the parking lot to the festivities.

It was a great place to take the family and let the kids work off some summer vacation energy.

St. Helens is the county seat for Columbia county.  This is the original courthouse.

Some young friends having a fun time together.  Thanks guys, for letting me take your picture.  You guys rock!
