Sedro Woolley Founders Day Show,Sunday,Sept.11th--        
Sedro-Woolley celebrates founders Sept. 10 and 11
Ninety years after five armed gunmen robbed a bank on the corner of Ferry and Metcalf streets, the story lives as the focal point of Sedro-Woolley's Founders' Days festival in the city's downtown.
 
The festival recalls the town's historic bank heist and acknowledges the region's pioneer founders. The main attraction is the re-enactment of the Great Sedro-Woolley Bank Robbery of 1914, with area residents acting as bandits, lawmen and bar patrons.
 
Events begin Sept. 10 at the Sedro-Woolley Museum, 725 Murdock St. From 10 a.m. to noon, the museum will show a video about the bank heist, with images gleaned from vintage glass-slide photographs taken shortly after the actual shoot-out. At 1 p.m., approximately 30 "loco" players in period costume will perform an hour-long re-enactment of the robbery in the city's downtown.
 
On the 11th,a car show starts at 10am at Sedro-Woolley's Riverfront Park, just south of town on the Skagit River. A community picnic is at noon at the park.
