To say Gail Horn is busy this week would be a bit of an understatement. Not only is the owner of the Camas-based The Soap Chest busy prepping for Mother’s Day customers, she’s also gearing up for two of her three sons’ weddings — one in May, the other in June — and planning for the popular Camas Plant & Garden Fair, which celebrates its 20th year on Saturday, May 13, showcasing several dozen plant- and garden- themed vendors, including Horn’s Soap Chest, in historic, downtown Camas.

Horn has brought her natural, botanical soaps, often made with herbs grown right behind her business at 521 N.E. Everett St., to the local plant and garden fair for the past three years. The first year was rainy, but still fun, she says, but the past two years have been sunny and totally packed with customers.
