La Conner Weekly News - Your independent hometown award-winning newspaper

On Aug. 15 our motor home was parked in La Conner while my husband and I took a walk. A few minutes later we heard fire engines and walked back to see, as it was near our motor home.

It was our motor home and we were so fortunate the firefighters did a terrific job, as it was near the ice cream stand.

We just want to thank Kevin and Carla Little for their phone numbers in case we needed to stay overnight. We also want to thank the nurse that came by and gave us her phone number. The support we had was phenomenal. People came by with food, water, cash, hugs and places to stay. The fire marshal was helpful and gave us his number in case we had a problem.

We have been going to La Conner for about 30 years and now we know why. It is the people. I can’t thank the people enough, as for the five hours we were there people were so kind.

Thank you. We are forever grateful.
