    These signs started showing up at Aberdeen 7-11 stores during the first week of 2017. The owners of the local franchises have started charging an additional 25 cents for every transaction in an effort to offset the impact of the state’s new minimum wage. This particular sign was at the East Market Street store.                                 These signs started showing up at Aberdeen 7-11 stores during the first week of 2017.

    The winner of Polson Museum’s 11th annual Red Car Raffle was announced Saturday. Hoquiam Central Elementary School students Hannia Alejandre and Aiden Butcher drew the winner, Richard Vickery of Elma, who took home this 2016 Colorado red Jeep Renegade 4x4. Other winners were Ed and Fern Backholm of Hoquiam who won a Honda trimmer, and Anne Larson of Aberdeen who won the “staycation” package at the Quinault Beach Resort. All 2,500 tickets were sold by mid-December and raised just under $25,000 for the museum’s operating budget. “Though a vehicle for 2017 hasn’t’ been announced yet, the Polson can assure the public that it will be red!” said museum director John Larson.
