This weekend, the 3rd Annual N.A.H.A. Northwest Nitro Nationals Hill Climb returns to the valley (just off of Highway 24, 20 minutes outside of Yakima and 10 minutes from Sunnyside.)
Moments ago, Zillah High's national "Teacher of the Year," Jeff charbonneau, addressed the press and a collection of educators from around the country in the presence of President Barack Obama.
