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.

What is the Wall of Wine?

The Wall of Wine is a fun way to donate to TDAC. Local artists have painted paper wine bags with unique designs. Each bag contains a bottle of wine. The wine could be worth $35 or over $250. The fun part is not knowing which wine you've purchased until you get home. Due to state liquor laws your wine box cannot be opened on site. You'll purchase your wine box and pick it up when you check out.

1. Download Maps: Did you know Google Maps offers the ability to download maps and access them offline, saving you mobile data while traveling? After you download an area, use Google Maps just like you normally would and the offline map will guide you to your destination. Just make sure the entire route is within the offline map. Don't forget to invest in a portable charger like the Mophie PowerStation to keep your phone charged while on-the-go.
2. Secure your Device: Before leaving, backup important data – including emergency contacts, photos, documentation and settings within your apps – to the iCloud, Google Drive, or an external storage device to prevent data loss if your phone gets lost or damaged. Also consider using a strong password, fingerprint or facial recognition to unlock your device.
3. Don’t trust public Wi-Fi: You’ll often have access to free Wi-Fi at your hotel, restaurant or even retail stores. While this access is convenient, it may not always be safe. Hackers can use public Wi-Fi to gain access to your data, so it’s safer to use a secure cellular connection or a VPN.

4. Stay Updated on Travel Advisories: Subscribe to free apps, alerts and programs like the Red Cross Mobile App to stay informed about any emergencies, natural disasters or threats in your destination area.
5. Put your Phone in US Mode: While your phone can be a vital travel tool, you may want to have uninterrupted relaxation time while on your trip. Once you reach your destination, put your phone in US Mode so you can limit notifications and enjoy your time away without distraction.

Washington D.C. is Coming to The Dalles!!

U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Chris Eyler

Vice President, Northwest Region

Regional Government Affairs 

The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes Chris Eyler, Vice President,

The Dalles Chamber is pleased to welcome Chris Eyler with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to speak this week on Community Affairs. Chris will provide us with the U.S. Chamber's views on the national economy, the latest from Congress, and their assessment of the political landscape as the November congressional elections quickly approach. In particular, he will discuss trends they are seeing that help explain why our national politics suddenly seems so chaotic. Furthermore, he will explain why the business community is increasingly concerned by what is happening in Washington, D.C., and why chambers of commerce cannot afford to sit on the sidelines.

Join us as we hear issues from community and political leaders that impact our area. Share your concerns, information, or ask questions during this session. We hope to see you there!
