Hole-in-one

Mark Freitas of Snoqualmie recently made a hole-in-one at Mount Si Golf Course. He made the shot on the eighth hole at a distance of 155 yards with an eight iron. It was his first ever hole-in-one.

Fall Flag Football

The Seahawks and Huskies aren’t the only game in town! Join the fun on Saturday afternoons this fall for some five-on-five flag football. Teams are forming now and rosters are filling quickly.

With seven teams already committed, the league is well on the way to a successful launch of the inaugural season, but they are still looking for a few hardy souls to join the fun.

Games are late afternoons on Saturdays between 4 and 5 p.m. and will be held at the soccer fields on Snoqualmie Ridge. The season runs from Sept. 11 through Oct. 30.

All equipment is provided by the league such as flags, team shirts, referees, equipment and rules. The team sign up fee is $250 with team sizes limited to 10 people.

Contact Dave Urban at (425) 890-8733 e-mail David@churchontheridge.org if you are interested in organizing a team or joining an existing team. You can also e-mail Mike Kuehner at mrkuehner@comcast.net.

The Valley Fever Fast-Pitch Softball Club was established to provide an Amateur Softball Association (ASA) tournament program similar to those in the surrounding areas but to have it geographically located in the Snoqualmie Valley. The Valley Fever is an advanced development program intended to complement the current Little League opportunities in the greater Snoqualmie Valley but is open to all girls with a desire to play at a competitive level.
