Camas First Friday visitors who ventured into the Georgia-Pacific paper mill’s interpretive center on Sept. 1 were treated to a party, complete with cake and free goodies celebrating the mill’s 140th birthday.

“You know, we used to be the largest specialty paper mill in the world,” Ron Hawkins, a retired mill employee and current curator of the mill’s interpretive center, told the visitors.
