Ann Matthews will open Arktana, a men's and women's shoe store, in downtown Camas Thursday, April 24. The grand opening celebration will be held on First Friday, May 2, from 4 to 8 p.m. "I've always been a shoe lover," she said. "But to be honest, it's never been something I could find locally. I always knew that Camas needed a shoe store. I always told my husband that if I don't open it, someone else will. It's just a matter of time."

Shoes, shoes, shoes

1950s cinema and fashion icon Marilyn Monroe once said, "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world." For many women, shoes are not simply worn to protect feet from the elements, but as unique expressions of style, mood and personality. With this in mind, a new boutique in downtown Camas will soon offer footwear for women and men in a variety of styles, colors and sizes, with a special focus on customer service and attention to detail.
