We have been invited to take part in the Reconnect to the River Festival, which will take place at the new Lewis & Clark Park on Saturday, October 6th. This is all coming together on very short notice, but we hope that you will make the effort to take part. This will give us an opportunity to showcase and show off our local historical heritage. If we want to be part of the current vision of what makes The Dalles unique, we have to make it happen. HISTORY SHINES
To facilitate your participation, we have reserved a series of booths, made arrangements for tables, and assistance with set up. What we need from you is a commitment to participate by reserving a half or full booth, or by arranging for another organization to monitor your materials.
We need all of our historical organizations to participate in some manner. HISTORY LIVES
We envision a history row with as many of our history organizations represented as possible. We will also have the Fort Dalles Floozies in residence, and as many of our volunteers in historical costume as possible. We are also making arrangements for demonstrations . HISTORY ROCKS
Here is a list of what we would like to see in your booth:
Brochures
Membership information
Visuals telling about your organization
Sales items pertinent to your venue
Booth volunteers
Period costuming
Attached you will find the event participation application. There is a $25.00 fee per organization*, which we were not able to have waived; however, it is possible to have the insurance requirement waived. We will also need to know your space requirements and if you need electrical hook ups. We will also contact you personally and answer your questions. HISTORY IS….
