The Columbia River: Wallula to the Sea featuring works by Thomas Jefferson Kitts and Erik Sandgren 

The Columbia River is a significant feature in the regional landscape. It is a companion for those who travel east and west between Astoria, Portland, and the mouth of the Snake River, and it is a destination for countless fishermen, water sports aficionados, and outdoor enthusiasts. The Columbia River: Wallula to the Sea is being organized to celebrate the active and diverse ways in which humans have interacted with the river, its beauty, and its bounty. The interpretive goal of the display is to provide the public with an opportunity to reflect on the many facets of the river’s identity and to visually chronicle some of the human behaviors that shape its daily life—past and present. Within these parameters, we encourage visitors to think critically about the diverse—and sometimes competing—economic enterprises at the forefront of the exhibition. 

Approximately 70 historic and contemporary paintings and photographs showing Middle and Lower Columbia River landscapes, peoples, ideas, and structures are on display, among them 20 works commissioned by prominent Portland-area artists Thomas Jefferson Kitts and Erik Sandgren. The exhibition also contains select examples of regional material culture by Indigenous artists. The works are drawn from the museum’s permanent collection and borrowed from public collections, private collectors, and local artists.

ABOUT THE VENUE

About the Fairgrounds
The Wasco County Fairgrounds and W.E. Hunt Park are located in Tygh Valley, Oregon. The fairgrounds are home to the annual Wasco County Fair, which has been held here since 1937 when it was merged with the Southern Wasco County Fair. When not in use for the fair, the park and fairgrounds host a variety of events from the Bluegrass Jamboree in the fall to church camps in the spring.
W.E. Hunt Park
Hunt Park was originally owned by W.E. "Billy" Hunt and family. After his death in 1937, Mrs. Hunt and her children donated the 40 acres to Wasco County to serve as a park. It still bears his name as a memorial.

The Original Wasco County Courthouse is going public with the invitation to the June 1, 2024, Gorge Geology Tour.  Hurry to sign up to be able to beat the crowd.  We will have to cut off registrations when the bus is full.  Here's the info: 

GORGE GEOLOGY TOUR WITH LLOYD DeKAY

JUNE 1, 2024

Meet at Original Wasco County Courthouse (410 West 2nd Place) at 8:30 a.m.

Lloyd gives orientation presentation

Tour commences - 12 to 15 stops at sites of geological significance

No-host lunch at either Bingen-White Salmon or Hood River

Tour ends back at OWCC around 3:30 p.m.

Forms to return:
...or return forms in person:  The Original Courthouse opens for the summer season, Thursday, May 2.  It will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays now through September. 
Here is some addition information about the field trip and Lloyd DeKay, whose standing room only presentation at the OWCC Regional History Forum in February 2023 inspired sponsorship of the field trip.
The stunning and tranquil beauty of the Columbia River Gorge region belies a tumultuous geologic history.  That history spans about 50 million years of massive volcanoes and fissure eruptions, huge forces bending and breaking the rock layers, catastrophic Ice Age Floods, landslides and earthquakes.  In a 70 mile loop we'll visit stunning geologic evidence of that tumultuous geologic history.  We'll see forests, lakes and swamps that were buried by massive lava flows, look at huge faults and folds that deformed the landscape.  We'll imagine 1000 foot deep mud-choked floods remaking that landscape.  We'll even see the rusty remnants and stand in the vent area of a volcanic eruption.  When we're done  you may never see the Gorge the same way again.  
Lloyd DeKay is a retired geologist and president of the Columbia River Gorge Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute.  He has a Master's Degree in Geological Oceanography and had a 27 year career in international oil exploration, working on projects in various parts of South America, Africa, SE Asia, and Europe while living in Houston, San Francisco, Nigeria and New Orleans.  His first exposure to the Gorge was a 1976 temp job with the Corps of Engineers working on the Bonneville Dam second powerhouse, and that exposure led in part to his retirement to White Salmon in 2007.  Since then he's had to learn about a whole new geological ralm as he's led field trips and given presentations about local geology on behalf of the Ice Age Floods Institute.

Johnny Wheels and the Swamp Donkeys deliver a round of "feel good music" for their audience that undeniably connects with a crowd. Johnny is one of a kind. At the age of 12 Johnny was in a tragic accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Johnny Wheels is the only frontman/harmonica playing quadriplegic in the world. With unmatched resiliency and a passion never seen before, Johnny and the band are bringin’ bitchin’ back. This band is a sight to behold onstage and when the crowd hears their music, they know it comes straight from the heart. This is truly a band of “brothers” that will give you something that you will never forget. Johnny headlines major festivals in the PNW.
