* You may not be able to afford the gas to do much car camping this summer -- or maybe it's all you can afford to do -- which is the topic of Saturday's Summer Campfire Program.
At the informal evening talk, road-trippers can hear Connie Estep present "You Can Take It With You: How Cars Changed Camping."
Estep, curator of the Columbia River Exhibition of History, Science and Technology Museum in Richland, will discuss camping and cars -- everything from the Model T to the Winnebago -- and she'll show photos of early camping outfits (from the weird to the wonderful).
Estep's talk begins at dusk, around 8:30 p.m., at Yakima Sportsman State Park, 904 Keys Road.
Admission and parking are free. Folding chairs are advised and marshmallows are provided afterward for roasting. For more information, call 575-2774.

Presented by Allied Arts of Yakima Valley, the movie -- shown on a 16- by 20-foot inflatable screen -- begins about 8:30 p.m. in Gilbert Park, 5000 W. Lincoln Ave.
