The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

DAYTON—Members of the community are invited to a dedication celebration for the Green Giant Pullout on Hwy. 12 west of Dayton, on Friday, November 15, at 11 a.m.

A bus will depart from the Blue Mountain Station at 11 a.m. to take people out to the pullout for the ceremony. Refreshments will be served and the public will be able to see a collection of Green Giant memorabilia.

A brief presentation on the history of the Green Giant Cannery in the Touchet Valley will be given at the Blue Mountain Station Co-op and Nursery, following the ceremony. In 2005, the company moved much of its business to Peru, taking Washington’s asparagus canning industry with it.
