Location: Loleta
Body: Bring your family for an old fashioned day of family fun celebrating our diverse heritage. Swaugerfs Station days originally began with the Dairymenfs picnic, an annual July community event where music, dancing, childrenfs games and plenty to eat brought the entire community together. The last Dairymenfs picnic was held in the 1920fs and Swaugerfs Station day has evolved in its place. Held each year on the second Sunday in July, the dayfs activities include live music and entertainment, a barbecue, Indian tacos, childrenfs games, demonstrations, displays, exhibits, antique cars, a marketplace, local food tasting and all around family fun. This year it will also feature two walk/runs and a 44 mile bike race. All ages are welcome to attend. It's the third annual Jim Davy Tour of Loleta. This is a very scenic race that starts and ends in the town of Loleta.

In 1898 a larger depot was constructed and as Swaugerfs Station had been the name of the old depot, the new station was named Loleta. The community was apparently not satisfied with the name Swaugerfs and adopted the place name that Wiyot people had always used. Loleta a Wiyot word meant gpleasant place at the end of the water.h No other word could better describe the township of Loleta.
