Activities for July 13 & 14

It has been a while since I have posted fun things to do in our community, so I decided I would do some leg work so all you have to do is decide what you can do to stay cool and/or have fun this weekend.

One thing I have not recommended, but I personally LOVE to do is go to garage sales!  I love, Love, LOVE them!  I usually find wonderful, clothes for my little boys, fun accessories for the house, great outdoor gear, and the kids always find ‘treasures’.  With the great weather that we are anticipating this weekend there should be tons of them out there. 

So on to the organized activities that are available for little or no cost to you this weekend!

Movies in the park!!!

Friday, July 13^th

• 9pm there will be a showing of Jurassic Park at Esther Short Park!  FREE is a very good price!  There are many different movies in the parks events going on in the area, just search online.  I found several in Portland also.
• Pacific Northwestern 150th Anniversary of Union Pacific  10am – 4pm (Saturday also) at the Amtrak Station 800 NW 6^th Ave in Portland.  The Streamliner E9s will be on display along with the Promontory museum car.  Should be interesting for those who love trains and the railroad.  There will also be free giveaways!  Gotta love freebies!
