'Ocian in View'

This weekend- I need to travel to a convention- so sadly will miss one of my favorite weekends. The 'Ocian in View' programs are held in November every year. This year the programs will focus on who visited or lived at the mouth of the Columbia River before Lewis & Clark arrived 2 hundred years ago.

I am super sad to miss the wild game dinner that Chef Michael- The Depot- holds. boo hoo. But you can check out the menu HERE.

The Chinook Dinner (see my post about First Salmon) and talk by Jim Sayce about the MUD STICKS... are also favorites. However, since I live here.. I can ago to the other museums and heritage centers - a favorite place to bring visitors.
