Don't miss it ! Mount Angel Nights Out

Having just seen the finished product this past Tuesday evening, I can't wait to have you see the power point on the 4th of July in Mount Angel this year. A kind soul took the pictrues and another kind soul volunteered to make the power point for the 5th. Due to time and not wanting to delete people who participated in the parade, it is a little long. However, if you were like me, either volunteering that day in the organization or a participant in the parade ( 0r just out of town), you can see the parade again. This time set to music. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. The premier will be August 5th at 6:30pm at the Mount Angel community room ( located in the Mount Angel Public Library building).

Some things just improve with time

After debriefing with the police, the Chamber of Commerce want to express gratitude for their support. Most of the police force donated their time for our 4th of July parade/celebration. THANK YOU!

A few items that need to be improved from their observation:

1. Absolutely no personal fireworks on school grounds. Next year they will be escorting individuals who light fireworks on school grounds off the property.

2. No dogs! Every year there are a number of dogs that go missing due to fright from the firework display. Please leave them happy and safe at home.

3. No vehicles past the gates around the stadium. This is a safety issue. If emergency vehicles were needed inside the stadium this year, they would have not been able to get in. It also is a huge risk for pedestrians and cars leaving the stadium grounds after the fireworks.

Let's work together to make next year's celebration better yet.

Thank you again Mount Angel Police department!

Photos-just a few

Here are just a few of the photos our volunteer parade photographers Sharron and Marianne Rea took. We will have more photos for your viewing pleasure at the Mount Angel Community Night Out on August 5th. Stay posted (Bookmark our site!) Details to hopefully follow soon. Thanks again Sharron and Marianne!

31. Oktoberfest- Hear the Harvest Bells There is no more appropriate setting for an American version of the "Old World" Oktoberfest than in Mount Angel, Oregon. The small community was settled by German pioneers in the 1800s and readily reminds one of the rich Bavarian countryside. Oregon's oldest and best-loved Oktoberfest began in 1966 as a traditional harvest festival to celebrate the bounty of the earth and the goodness of creation. It is Oregon's largest folk festival.
