Hoquiam Rain Derby ticket booth. Thanks to Terri Middleton who notes: "The Rain Derby began as a fundraiser in 1938 by local charities. It was eventually taken over by the Lions Club whose first gift was to the Hoquiam High School band for new uniforms. The check for $407.73, given to Charles Hedgpeth, the Derby's first winner, was made of wood. The Hoquiam Rain Derby is still held every year."
