Portland in October: Maize, Music & Events
I have found that often there are great things going on right here in our area that many people don’t even know about! Here are a few things for you to check out this month…
Portland Corn Maize 8/30/08 – 10/31/08
This one started in 1999 and has become quite the tradition. This year the huge maze in the cornfield is a design they call “Bridgetown Maize” featuring our very own Portland cityscape. Located at The Pumpkin Patch and at only $5 for kids 6-12 and seniors, $7 for ages 13 and up and FREE for 5 and under, it sounds like a day full of fun with the family. Here is the address; 16525 NW Gillihan Rd. Sauvie island Portland, OR 97231. Sounds easy to find, just don’t get lost in the MAZE!
NW Women’s Show @ The Oregon Convention Center 10/24/08 – 10/26/08
This one is the 16th Annual Women’s Show! This one sounds like a blast, Fireman Fashion Show, Author’s Corner, Cook Demos, Seminar’s, Celebrities, a day of presentations for Mom’s and more fashion shows….what’s not to love! Its over the weekend too, so many chances to get there, and just $9 admission! (Seniors 65+ $7.00, 12 and under FREE)

National Make a Difference Day! If you want to make a difference on 10/25/08 then get ready to make a huge one with the City of Vancouver’s Greenway Team and Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation! They are looking for volunteers at 9am to help them plant close to 5,000 trees and shrubs along Burnt Bridge Creek in Leverich Park (Off 39thand Leverich Park Way) What a great addition to the area! Be sure to grab your gloves and boots and they will provide a free picnic for volunteers at noon.
