Visions of the Past

For the last two years, we have been putting together a calendar with old pictures from the West End of the Olympic Peninsula entitled “Visions of the Past”.

The 2003 calendars retail for $11.95, but they are reduced now to only $9.95 each. 2002 calendars with different images are now still available for $3.00 each.
