In November 1934, William Bridgman starts Upland Winery, one of the first wineries in Washington to take advantage of the December 1933 repeal of Prohibition. Upland is the first bonded winery east of the Cascades and the first Washington winery to bottle its own European-style wines. Bridgman produces 7,000 gallons of wine in 1934 using grapes grown on the winery s 90 acres on Snipes Mountain near Sunnyside in Yakima County.
Heart of the Yakima Valley
William B. Bridgman (1878-1968) grew up in the Niagara Peninsula area of Ontario, Canada, where his family grew grapes, mainly Concords. He graduated from Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota, with degrees in the arts and sciences and law. He landed in Sunnyside in 1902, following a rail tour of the Pacific Northwest, and began to practice law. He would serve twice as mayor of Sunnyside. Usin

For the Saint Mary’s University track and field teams, Saturday’s St. Olaf Ole Open was the Cardinals’ one final tune-up prior to next weekend’s Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships.
And if their performances were any indication, the Cardinals are one fine-tuned machine.
The Cardinals put together seven first-place finishes and recorded 23 top-five finishes including three top-five showings by both Kyle Lichttenegger and Mirijana Ganley to place fourth in both the men’s and women’s team standings.
Lichttenegger teamed with Noah Anderson, Matt Boone, and Garrett Jackson to win the four-by-100 relay, stopping the clock in 41.62 seconds, before adding third-place showings in the long jump (6.35 meters) and the 200-meter dash (22.17 seconds).
