Mentone

Named after Lawrence D. Bell, one of the biggest aerospace innovators of the 20th century and originally from Mentone, the Bell Museum has a large collection of aviation-related items, ranging from Air Force memorabilia to a restored Huey helicopter from the Vietnam War to historical flight maps. There's also a small section devoted to the history of Mentone. The museum hosts the annual Rotors Over Mentone, a national fly-in of small rotorcraft pilots open to the public.

The local library has a wide selection of media, as well as free computer and wi-fi access (no library card needed), genealogical and historical records, public fax service, and various programs throughout the year including movie screenings and book sales. Every last Thursday of the month, the library also has a Teen Gaming Night. Teens can hang out, play some videogames and get free soda.

A 10-foot high concrete egg that pays tribute to Mentone's claim as the "Egg Basket of the Midwest". There was a time where the majority of all the eggs sold in the United States came from the Mentone area, and the market still has a substantial stake in the region. Every now and then, local alliances flare up due to Winlock, Washington, also having a giant egg.

Held on the first weekend in June each year, the Egg Festival celebrates Mentone's history as the Egg Basket of the Midwest. Events include a parade, a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, the crowning of Miss Mentone (and Miss Chick and Mr. Rooster for the younger kids), and the area's biggest egg toss competition.
