Showing now through December 16th, this collection of vintage engravings illustrates the North American birds of the Trans-Mississippi frontier West (including Alaska), as portrayed by wildlife artists of note. The exhibit is partially a derivative of advancing 19th-century governmental survey parties, which were instructed to document the natural history features of these mostly unknown territories. Also, the exhibit features artworks created by artists and publishers seeking to capitalize upon the growing worldwide interest in American ornithology. These talented bird artists include John James Audubon, Daniel Giraud Elliot, Joseph Wolf, and Titian Ramsey Peale. This beautiful avian imagery is complemented by historical commentary, species traits, and information on current bird status. The prints are framed in handcrafted Butternut molding.

The exhibit is partially a derivative of advancing 19th-century governmental survey parties, which were instructed to document the natural history features of these mostly unknown territories. Also, the exhibit features artworks created by artists and publishers seeking to capitalize upon the growing worldwide interest in American ornithology. These talented bird artists include John James Audubon, Daniel Giraud Elliot, Joseph Wolf, and Titian Ramsey Peale. This beautiful avian imagery is complemented by historical commentary, species traits, and information on current bird status. The prints are framed in handcrafted Butternut molding.

Join us for an exciting virtual chat with the highly-acclaimed and award winning novelist, Geraldine Brooks in conversation about her most recent New York Times Bestselling novel Horse. Brooks braids a sweeping story of spirit, obsession, and injustice across American history. 

Kentucky, 1850. An enslaved groom named Jarret and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. When the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young artist who has made his name on paintings of the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night, he reunites with the stallion and his groom, very far from the glamor of any racetrack.

New York City, 1954. Martha Jackson, a gallery owner celebrated for taking risks on edgy contemporary painters, becomes obsessed with a nineteenth-century equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance.

Washington, DC, 2019. Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly connected through their shared interest in the horse--one studying the stallion's bones for clues to his power and endurance, the other uncovering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success.

Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, Horse is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.

About the Author: Australian-born Geraldine Brooks is an author and journalist who grew up in the Western suburbs of Sydney, and attended Bethlehem College Ashfield and the University of Sydney. She was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in fiction in 2006 for her novel March. Her first novel, Year of Wonders, is an international bestseller, and People of the Book is a New York Times bestseller translated into 20 languages. She is also the author of the nonfiction works Nine Parts of Desire and Foreign Correspondence.  Brooks married author Tony Horwitz. They have two sons and two dogs. They divide their time between homes in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, and Sydney, Australia.

Showing now through December 16th, this collection of vintage engravings illustrates the North American birds of the Trans-Mississippi frontier West (including Alaska), as portrayed by wildlife artists of note. The exhibit is partially a derivative of advancing 19th-century governmental survey parties, which were instructed to document the natural history features of these mostly unknown territories. Also, the exhibit features artworks created by artists and publishers seeking to capitalize upon the growing worldwide interest in American ornithology. These talented bird artists include John James Audubon, Daniel Giraud Elliot, Joseph Wolf, and Titian Ramsey Peale. This beautiful avian imagery is complemented by historical commentary, species traits, and information on current bird status. The prints are framed in handcrafted Butternut molding.

Join us for an online chat with bestselling author Fredrik Backman as we discuss his outstanding body of work, including his breathtaking new novel, The Winners, the third installment of the Beartown series. 

In the beautifully written Beartown—which inspired the HBO series of the same name—a small town obsessed with the local junior hockey team is rocked by a shocking act of violence. As accusations and rumors fly, the town must grapple with its identity as never before.

The series continues and tensions rise when it’s rumored that the Beartown hockey team will be disbanded in Us Against You. The entire future of the team and the town hinges on an upcoming game that could change everything forever.

Finally, the series comes to an evocative conclusion with The WinnersThe Winners return to the close-knit, resilient community of Beartown for a story about first loves, second chances, and last goodbyes. In the two years since the events of Beartown, the residents must face difficult questions and determine just what they are willing to sacrifice for their home.

About the Author: Fredrik Backman is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called OveMy Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s SorryBritt-Marie Was HereBeartownUs Against You, and Anxious People, as well as two novellas and one work of nonfiction. His books are published in more than forty countries. He lives in Stockholm, Sweden, with his wife and two children. Connect with him on Facebook and Twitter @BackmanLand and Instagram @Backmansk.

Showing now through December 16th, this collection of vintage engravings illustrates the North American birds of the Trans-Mississippi frontier West (including Alaska), as portrayed by wildlife artists of note. The exhibit is partially a derivative of advancing 19th-century governmental survey parties, which were instructed to document the natural history features of these mostly unknown territories. Also, the exhibit features artworks created by artists and publishers seeking to capitalize upon the growing worldwide interest in American ornithology. These talented bird artists include John James Audubon, Daniel Giraud Elliot, Joseph Wolf, and Titian Ramsey Peale. This beautiful avian imagery is complemented by historical commentary, species traits, and information on current bird status. The prints are framed in handcrafted Butternut molding.

You’re invited to explore early-American history during an online afternoon conversation with Pulitzer Prize winning historian Nicole Eustace as she discusses her 2022 award winning book Covered With Night: A Story of Murder and Indigenous Justice in Early America.

On the eve of a major treaty conference between Iroquois leaders and European colonists in the distant summer of 1722, two white fur traders attacked an Indigenous hunter and left him for dead near Conestoga, Pennsylvania. Though virtually forgotten today, this act of brutality set into motion a remarkable series of criminal investigations and cross-cultural negotiations that challenged the definition of justice in early America.

In Covered with Night, Dr. Eustace reconstructs the crime and its aftermath, bringing us into the overlapping worlds of white colonists and Indigenous peoples in this formative period. As she shows, the murder of the Indigenous man set the entire mid-Atlantic on edge, with many believing war was imminent. Isolated killings often flared into colonial wars in North America, and colonists now anticipated a vengeful Indigenous uprising. Frantic efforts to resolve the case ignited a dramatic, far-reaching debate between Native American forms of justice—centered on community, forgiveness, and reparations—and an ideology of harsh reprisal, unique to the colonies and based on British law, which called for the killers’ swift execution. As Eustace powerfully contends, the colonial obsession with “civility” belied the reality that the Iroquois, far from being the barbarians of the white imagination, acted under a mantle of sophistication and humanity as they tried to make the land- and power-hungry colonials understand their ways. 

About the Author: Nicole Eustace is a professor of history at New York University. A historian of the early modern Atlantic and the early United States, she specializes in the history of emotion. She is author of Pulitzer-Prize winning Covered with Night: A Story of Murder and Indigenous Justice in Early America, as well as Passion Is the Gale: Emotion, Power, and the Coming of the American Revolution and of 1812: War and the Passions of Patriotism as well as coeditor of Warring for America: Cultural Contests in the Era of 1812.

D&D Comedy launches comedy at the Granada Theater in The Dalles with Jon Bennett.  Now you can see this show at the Granada Theater on December 16th or the Bingen on December 17th.

Don't miss this unique evening of comedic storytelling with Jon Bennett.  You will laugh and be moved to silence during Jon's one-man show. 

Dear Brother,

How’s jail? How many cigarettes does it cost for a picture of a naked lady? Are you getting really strong? I’ve written a show about you, is that ok? You’re in jail so you can’t really say no.

Love from your little brother, Jon

Renowned Australian storyteller Jon Bennett (NPR, Just For Laughs) tells the amazingly sordid and bizarre story of his brother’s life. In this one-man show, Bennett recounts his brother’s experiences with both charismatic hilarity and heart-warming, poignant reflection.

Fire in the Meth Lab tells of drug dealers, bikers, high-speed car chases, fights, crime, prison, exploding houses and even cancer. The show explores brotherly relationships and how siblings with the same upbringing can choose very separate paths.

“Funny, compelling, and surprising, Fire in the Meth ab will have you laughing one minute and tearing up the next. ★★★★” – CBC (CAN)

“The deepest, most poetic hour you’ll spend. ★★★★” – Winnipeg Free Press (CAN)

“Incinerates your expectations of the solo confessional, this flammable Australian is in a league of his own. ★★★★½" – Edmonton Journal (CAN)

“Wonderfully funny with a hefty layer of emotion under the laughs.” - Los Angeles Times

“Bennett is scorchingly funny.” - New York Daily News

Jon’s comedy career began in his homeland Australia, and after 18 years in the business he is now known as one of the most prolific storyteller-comedians touring the world.

Jon has received countless 5 star reviews in reputable publications worldwide and won awards such as Funniest Show Award in the London Fringe, Critics Choice Award for Best Solo Show at the Orlando Fringe and a Golden Gibbo Award nomination at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

He has performed at a number of prestigious festivals such as the Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Just For Laughs and multiple times for the illustrious Moth Main Stage Storytelling in the USA, as well as having his work published in print and distributed world-wide, including being listed twice on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2019 for Occasional Magic and again in 2022 for How to Tell a Story.

Jon's Story Telling Workshop on December 18th includes a free ticket to his Fire in the Meth Lab show.

We ask that coats be new or gently used and washed, and in good condition.  We are also asking for donations of new clean adult socks.  The coat drive starts today, November 28, and will conclude January 31.  NCPHD is open Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 pm., and is closed from noon to 1 p.m. each day. 

If anyone is interested in hosting a dropbox for coats at their place of business or a similar location, please contact Gloria Alvarez at gloriaa@ncphd.org or at 541-506-2699.

NCPHD has previously held a blanket drive each January, but is doing a coat drive this year instead.

Con niveles récord de gripe en todo el país y un aumento en los casos de COVID, el mejor regalo que puede darse a usted y a su familia para las fiestas es asistir a la clínica de vacunación gratuita del 15 al 17 de diciembre y fortalecer su sistema inmunológico.
La clínica se lleva a cabo de jueves a sábado en The Dalles en 523 E. 3rd St., en el antiguo edificio de Griffith Motors, frente a Sawyer's y la cafetería Grinders. El horario es de 11 de la mañana a las 6 de la tarde. No se necesita cita, seguro médico (OHP) o ninguna identificación.
La clínica tendrá tres vacunas COVID-19, Pfizer, Moderna y la vacuna Novavax más nueva. Ofrecerá todas las dosis, como las originales (todas las personas mayores de 6 meses son elegibles) hasta la dosis de refuerzo actualizada, que está disponible para todas las personas mayores de 5 años. El refuerzo actualizado se puede administrar dos meses después de su última dosis.
Y aunque esta clínica tendrá disponible la vacuna contra la gripe de dosis regular, no tendrá la vacuna formulada para personas mayores. La vacuna JYNNEOS contra la viruela (monkeypox) también está disponible.
La clínica gratuita es proporcionada por la Autoridad de Salud de Oregón y el Distrito de Salud Pública del Centro Norte Central.
(Para mas información, por favor visite COVID-19 Vaccine in Oregon, contacte al Distrito de Salud del Norte Central al (541) 506-2600, visítenos en nuestra página en www.ncphd.org o encuéntrenos en Facebook.)

With record levels of flu nationwide, and an increase in COVID cases, the best present you can give yourself and your family for the holidays is to head to a free, 3-day vaccine clinic Dec. 15-17 and boost your immune system.
The clinic runs this Thursday through Saturday in The Dalles at 523 E. 3rd St., at the former Griffith Motors building, across from Sawyer’s and Grinders Coffee. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. No appointment, insurance, or ID is needed.
The clinic will have three COVID-19 vaccines, Pfizer, Moderna, and the newer Novavax vaccine. It will offer all doses, from primary doses (everyone ages 6 months and older is eligible) to the updated booster dose, which is available for everyone 5 and older. The updated booster can be given two months after your last dose.
And while this clinic will have the regular-dose flu shot available, it will not have the shot formulated for seniors. The JYNNEOS vaccine against monkeypox is also available.
The free clinic is provided by the Oregon Health Authority and North Central Public Health District.
(For more information, please visit COVID-19 Vaccine in Oregon, contact North Central Public Health District at (541) 506-2600, visit us on the web at www.ncphd.org or find us on Facebook.)

Empower Yoga welcomes Snapdragon Yoga!

Snapdragon Yoga is a space where magic, movement, and mindfulness work hand in hand to create story-driven yoga flows for children.  We explore the positive ways that moving together benefits our social skills and spacial awareness and, more importantly, enhances the fun.  Our Little (and Big) Snapdragons will find more than just yoga in these spaces but also dance, games, and crafts!  Join us as we explore castles in faraway kingdoms or dive beneath the surface into the deep blue sea!

Join Empower Yoga in welcoming Snapdragon Yoga to our community!  December 19-23 @ 4:00pm  $10 per child.  $35 per child for the week!  While the kids take an adventurous journey on their mats,  you can enjoy beautiful downtown The Dalles and shop local OR enjoy a yoga class yourself!  We can't wait to empower the next generation of yoga practitioners!

Get Connected

Join Alex Hughes our Membership and Development Business Director for Wire with the Chamber!

Wired is a great space to learn more about Chamber membership and to network with community partners.  Stop by and talk to Alex about how the Chamber can help your business succeed! 

The goal of WIRED with The Chamber is to create an opportunity for ANYONE to drop in and talk to the Chamber and other business pros. We are calling it "WIRED with The Chamber" as it represents being "wired in" or connected into the Chamber, the internet, other businesses in our downtown, connecting with your community, and maybe being a bit wired after having a locally roasted cold brew coffee!!!!!

Ask us how to work with increased tourism and get assistance in brainstorming events/programs/projects that benefit the community and your business.

Be Heard
Voice your needs as a business in our community, let us know what you need to be done at the City, State, and Federal level to advocate for you and your business. Come share your vision with us!

Stay Tuned
