The Pacific Forest Rally is happening here this weekend. Rally cars are about and the roads in the back country will full of activity here. The rally has a pit stop in the center of town off from the Garcia Street Mall. The organizers are using a paved parking lot as they did last year with the Canadian Tire lot up on the hill. The rally used the unpaved Railyard malls yet undeveloped corner in previous years resulting in a lot of raised dust and rock.
