Washougal MX Park hosts ‘Holidays in the Hills’

Even though Ryan Huffman describes himself as more of a “dirt guy” who’d rather move things around with equipment than create them, he’s relished the opportunity to use his imagination while putting together a holiday lights tour at Washougal Motocross Park. He will, for example, point out the fact that he was the one who came up with the idea for one of the tour’s signature displays, a “Grinch” knocking over a tree with a bulldozer.

“Our facility is bigger than you’d think, so there’s a lot to fill, and it’s been overwhelming for us,” said Huffman, the park’s manager. “But we’re excited, and people are liking it so far. We’ve all had our heads together, talking about different designs and what to do where. The artistic side of this has been fun (to explore).”
