(Oregon) With the Memorial Day holiday weekend behind us, I thought I would take the time to remind you that there are still plenty of things to do in Oregon. With only four days in the work week (for those of you that got Monday off) here are some suggestions that might help you make a decision how best to stretch your holiday weekend that much further.

Cheers
