Volunteers needed to walk beside the float and hand out water bottles to the parade watchers. The bottles promote our Democratic candidates. The parade starts at Safeway at 10 AM. Meet at 9:30 - look for yellow "Elect Ahern" signs. This is a shorter parade route than the usual one, and the weather will probably be hot. Hats suggested!

Tim & Ann Brown are hosting a dinner party and salon with guest John Kroger, the soon-to-be-elected Oregon Attorney General. Mr. Kroger will meet earlier in the day with city, county and business leaders for a briefing on the City of The Dalles efforts to expand the urban growth boundary. He will join local Democrats for dinner and more discussion on that issue. The City of The Dalles is required by state law to have a 20-year buildable supply of land. The Gorge Scenic Act uses the current urban growth boundary (UGB) as the boundary of the Scenic Area. The Dalles is seeking to expand its UGB in order to comply with state land use laws, and seeks approval from the Gorge Commission; but the Commission seems unlikely to agree. A showdown looks imminent, and the Oregon Attorney General’s office is likely to play a part. We have invited John Kroger, who is almost certain to be the next A.G., to listen to the varied viewpoints of people in Wasco County. Come take part in this discussion, in a relaxed setting. Great food included. Never had cioppino? * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cioppino <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cioppino>

Jeff Merkley, candidate for US Senate, is hitting The Dalles as part of his 100 Cities in 100 Days Tour. He'll be spending some time in the late afternoon on the streets in downtown The Dalles, meeting people as they watch the classic cars cruise through town. Starting at 7 PM, grilled hot dogs and all the trimmings will be served on the patio in front of the house at 508 Washington Street. Come by to meet Jeff Merkley, chomp on a gourmet dog, and enjoy the summer evening with like-minded friends.

Wasco County Democrats will again have a booth on the beautiful shady lawn. We'll have a big Obama sign to display this year, plus bumper stickers, buttons, and laid-back discussions. (Nothing is in a hurry at Wasco County Fair.) The fair is in Tygh Valley, about 30 miles south of The Dalles. Load up the family and come out for a day. Thursday is Family Day, and there is no admission charge. There are lots of activities for everyone: carnival, 4-H and FFA exhibits, rodeo, demolition derby, music, dancing. Pick up a fair book at The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce for details.
