The Hungry Hustlin' American Dream Afroman is still livin' it up in 2024. With new music in the works set to release this year, The Hungry Hustlin' American Dream is more popular than ever.
Afroman is a rap artist from South-Central Los Angeles, California, but later moved to Palmdale. His best-known song is the 2001 hit "Because I Got High", which gained popularity through Napster, local radio play, a feature on Howard Stern's radio show, and the "stoner" movie Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (and accompanying soundtrack). His other most popular song, "Crazy Rap", is often referred to as "Colt 45", because of it's lyrics, "Colt 45 and two Zig Zags". Afroman is also fond of referencing his independence from record labels and the "corporate world" and cites himself as an example of how an artist can take recording and distribution into his or her own hands.

DUFUR THRESHING BEE, STEAK FEED AND CAR SHOW 

Harvest Demonstrations
Second full-weekend in August
Old-time Activities
Take a step back in time and experience a slice of country life.
Dufur, a tiny town perched on the edge of the Columbia River Gorge, is a center of dry-land wheat farming that began just after settlers arrived on the Oregon Trail, 175 years ago.
On the second weekend in August the quaint town just 13 miles south of The Dalles, celebrates its roots in Oregon agriculture with the Dufur Threshing Bee: a weekend of old-time activities. With so much of life and work busily focused on electronic media and on-line communication, this event is a hands-on opportunity to reconnect with a slower, easier pace.
“We’re keeping the old farming traditions and history alive before we forget and lose them,” said Dufur Historical Society President and Director, Nancy Gibson. “Regardless of where they come from, folks who come here feel a connection to their roots and the beauty of the land here.”
A Dramatized Schedule of Events
____
On Saturday, the day starts early with a country breakfast served at long picnic tables at the city park. Join us for the Dufur Threshing Bee Parade that winds through Main Street. Then local farmers and ranchers bring out their antique farm equipment to demonstrate harvesting, threshing and more, with locally grown wheat. Visitors can also see steam engines, horse drawn farm equipment and a tractor pull competition at the threshing field.
The town turns out with artisan craft booths, quilt show and yard sales. There’s even a petting zoo and tractor parade. Travelers can wander over to the Dufur Historical Society Museum to tour the old one room schoolhouse, log cabin, cookhouse and blacksmith shop.
Later that evening, as the day cools down, families gather on the shady grounds of the historic Balch Hotel for a rustic barbeque dinner and music.
“Driving past the fields it looks beautiful, like ‘amber waves of grain’. But I had no idea what it actually took to harvest wheat. We got to see the whole process done the old-fashioned way.
On Sunday, the event shifts gears as Dufur hosts an annual classic car show. Visitors and locals enjoy wandering the City Park, looking at antique refurbished cars from the 30-70’s.
The Dufur Threshing Bee is sponsored by the Dufur Historical Society. Located in Wasco County, Dufur, Oregon offers the visitor grand vistas, great outdoor recreation, and a glimpse into another era. Wheat fields and cherry orchards dot the hills that surround the town and provide the largest sweet cherry crop in the world. Visitors enjoy the beauty and bounty of the land, the friendliness of its people, and the sunny, clear skies.

OVERDOSE AWARENESS WALK

JOIN US

AUGUST 31ST, 2024 AT 10AM

Walk starts at Lewis and Clark Park, then down 2nd Street to Dominos.  Walk back to Lewis and Clark Park on 3rd street. 

On August 31st, One Community Health and Eastern Oregon Center for Independent Living invite you to join us for the Overdose Awareness Walk and Resource Fair, a community event aimed at raising awareness about overdose prevention. This event brings together individuals, families, and organizations to honor those who have lost their lives to overdose and to support those who are struggling with addiction.

The walk begins at Lewis and Clark Park at 10 am. It will be a meaningful and impactful experience as we come together to remember loved ones, raise awareness, and advocate for change. By participating in this walk, you will be showing your support for those affected by addiction and helping to reduce the stigma surrounding this issue.

To honor Indigenous and traditional ways of healing, join us to practice and learn how to make a Wa’paas. You may bring your own materials and projects to work on. We have materials on hand as well.

This learning event is led by Chestina Dominguez, a Care Navigator with Yakama Nation Behavioral Health. Chestina uses contemporary materials to create baskets using the ancient techniques of her ancestors.

The workshop takes place on the last Saturday of each month, except for November (final workshop for 2024 is November 9).

Greg A. Robinson (Chinook Nation), an artist whose work is shown in current exhibition The Columbia River: Wallula to the Sea featuring works by Thomas Jefferson Kitts and Erik Sandgren, will join artist Greg Archuleta (Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde) to talk about Indigenous perspectives on the Columbia River.
