Part One: 2009 Old Settlers Picnic and Pioneer Park by ExplorationsNorthwest.com

Come along as Explorations Northwest highlights the importance of history and our cultural traditions, during the 2009 Whatcom County Old Settlers Picnic at Pioneer Park in Ferndale, WA.

During this episode, Explorations Northwest visits the annual Old Settlers Picnic and Ferndale's Pioneer Park, which showcases the largest collection of hand-hewn cedar log buildings in the world.

While covering Ferndale's annual celebration, parades, and carnival, we highlight the determined efforts of dedicated volunteers, who are working tirelessly to preserve local history and longstanding cultural traditions in the face of rapid social change.

We also profile the activities of the Ferndale Heritage Society and highlight the critically important social functions served by the rituals and customs embodied in the celebrations and parades of small town America.
