The Clark County Historical Museum, in cooperation with Humanities Washington, is hosting the local showing of Key Ingredients: America By Food, a Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibition that delves into the historical, regional and social traditions which merge in everyday meals and celebrations at the American table. The exhibition opens with a 3-to-5 p.m. reception Saturday, July 26. There is no charge for the Saturday reception, which includes a street fair on 16th Street between Main and Broadway that features local restaurants and other food-related organizations with festivals. The exhibit opening also includes the kick off of a Classic Cook Book Sale which includes gently used cook books for sale. “We are very pleased to bring Key Ingredients to our area,” said Susan Tissot, executive director, Clark County Historical Society & Museum. “We hope that it will inspire many to become even more involved in the cultural life of our community.” The exhibit continues through Sunday, Sept. 14.

VBJ Top Projects represent The Vancouver Business Journal Thursday celebrated 44 top projects in southern Washington that represented an investment of more than $382 million. Appropriately, the celebration took place at the Battle Ground Center, where the cost of construction is expected to be at least $57 million when the elaborately planned 105 mixed-use project is completed in 2009. Battle Ground Village is divided among four distinct areas: a corporate center, residential center, retail center and industrial park. The second largest project begun in 2008 is Killian Pacific Grand Central project, just off Highway 14 at Grand Avenue, the former location of the Jantzen Swimwear mill. Coming in at $35 million, the shopping district is already occupied by a Fred Meyer store, a Columbia Credit Union office and several smaller businesses. The Rock, an upscale pizza restaurant, opens Monday. The largest all-residential project, Timbers at Towne Center, was also the third largest construction project at $31 million. It will contain condominiums and town homes and offer concierge services, including pet care, guided fishing and wine tours, as well as home health care. Boomer Bash and Classic Car
