America the Beautiful. 

That was the theme this weekend.

But we also can say Camas the Beautiful.

And we’ve got photos to prove it.

Camas Days, celebrating the country with America the Beautiful as its theme this year, held its annual parade, market, and, of course, bathtub races in downtown Camas on Saturday.

Photographer Mike Schultz was there to capture these moments.

Camas Days is an annual tradition to bring the community together. All from Camas are invited, as well as any and all family and friends of Camas.

The event is organized by the Camas-Washougal Chamber of Commerce.
