S-W Museum Founders Days

Saturday, Sept. 11, the Sedro-Woolley Museum hosted the 1914 Bank Robbery Reenactment as part of Founders Days! On Murdock Street in front of the Museum (the old Tradewell building) and across from the old City Hall (now owned by Janicki Industries) they conducted the reenactment as Theater in the Round. Sort of.

Here are photos of the event - starting with the "extras" performing a quiet Saturday morning in 1915 in Sedro-Woolley (including local payday which prompted quite a few trips to the bar). Then, the five robbers rob the bank! Then, they are foiled (and killed) by local law, which isn't exactly how it happened in real life...Then, the bags of money turn out to be candy for all the kids!! It was a beautiful day for the skit and it was well-attended by locals.
