The annual Empty Bowls event was a success again this year, as the community came together to raise money in support of the less fortunate. It was an all-volunteer event to make pottery bowls, provide a simple meal, and host a Feb. 28 crowd at the Enumclaw High School commons. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to Plateau Outreach Ministries, which provides food and other necessities to those in need. Photo by Kevin Hanson
