    Mount Si and Cedarcrest High School students have donated hundreds of pounds of food and other essentials in the past month, as part of their traditional collections for people in need.

The event isn’t a contest between schools, but it still stirs the competitive spirit in both districts.

    Most autumns, Halloween is a big deal at the Nursery at Mount Si. Families take their pick of a sea of pumpkins in the North Bend nusery’s field, and hay rides, cider and popcorn treats turn the visit into a picturesque excursion.
    This season is different. Owner Nels Melgaard will shut down for the winter at the end of sales this month, because foul weather and a rampaging herd of elk did in his pumpkin patch.
