Tree lighting

For maybe the first time ever (I made that up, but it’s a decent bet), we’re going to have snow on the ground for the tree lighting tonight at Troutdale’s First Friday Art Walk! No worries about getting there… it’s just blowing about and the streets are easy peasy.

Tree lighting in Mayor’s Square 6:00p, the C-Notes will be singing from 5:30 – 6:30, and Santa will be in the house.  Relax, find a wonderful gift or two at the Art Walk, and, most of all… have fun.

Merry Christmas to you!

October Banner

First Friday is always a great time.  Ignore the rain (it will undoubtedly be a balmy clear night, now that I’ve said that) and come on out for great art, food, coffee, and a refreshing adult beverage!

Remember to pick up your Passport at Columbia River Gallery or Marco Polo Designs for a good shot at a ridiculously good basket of goodies. : )

It’s the 5th of July. Now what?

Now…The FIRST FRIDAY Art Walk!… is what…

Troutdale’s First Friday is one of our favorite things… art and food, shopping and coffee, music and the occasional warming (or refreshing, as the season dictates) adult beverage. Don’t forget your Passport for a chance at taking home the abundant plethora of goodies (including two nights at our favorite hotel and a 16×24 Limited Edition print from our favorite artist) [<< shameless self promotion by the site administrator] that is the drawing winner’s basket!

This month’s lineup…

You’ve probably already worked out that the next one is August 5th.

Because, coincidentally, that would be the first Friday.

Tree lighting

The rain cleared for the evening, and the tree lighting and song from Reynolds’ Expressions Honor Choir (plus a visit from Santa, of course), made for a magical opening of the holiday at Troutdale’s First Frday.

[Apparently I am incompetent at video embedding, so I’m shipping you off to the West Columbia Gorge Facebook page, where they know what they’re doing, to watch.  Take a minute,  it’ll make you smile.  Promise.]
