HAPPY BOOMER BIRTHDAY

THE STATE OF OREGON CELEBRATES WITH BOOMERPDX

PLAN ON THIS STOP DURING A PORTLAND VISIT

What’s the best part of an Oregon birthday party?

It happens on Valentines Day.

The big room at the Oregon History Center fills up with Portland Baby Boomers, among others.

Everyone looks like they’re ready to load up the wagon and hit the Oregon Trail again.

AN OREGON BIRTHDAY IS ALWAYS A GOOD SHOW

A picture of someone taking pictures means Big Event no matter where you are, and the Oregon Historical Society knows Big Event.

Pioneer faces and current faces in the crowd are exchangeable. Oregonians are just tougher than the rest of the nation.

What goes best with Oregon birthday cake? The Oregon State song, or course.

MARGARET CARTER SINGS OREGON MY OREGON

What makes Executive Director Kerry Tymchuck the right man to lead the Oregon Historical Society?

On Oregon’s 154th birthday he recruited former state senator Margaret Carter to sing. Did he know she had a great voice?

Did you? Well, she does.

He brought in birthday cake from Baker and Spice.

This bakery walks the walk and talks the talk. You need to find a place for their cookbooks in your kitchen.

When you need the perfect cake, you know who to call.

Mr. Tymchuck knows, too.

Be there for Oregon’s 155th Birthday next year.
