Blacksmith Tim Middaugh

The clank of hammer on hot iron fills Tim Middaugh's blacksmith shop. In the hills above White Salmon, he makes beautiful tools and decorative objects using only fire, steel and muscle. Tim takes pride in passing along his blacksmith skills to anyone willing to do things the old-fashioned way.

Singer and Songwriter Julie Hoy

Most singers must have faith in themselves. Julie Hoy has faith in something bigger than herself, as well. She'd been a singer for years before starting a family but her faith brought her back to music and writing songs that touch people.
