Meet Melissa, the creative force behind the Let’s Create paint nights at The Artsmith! 🎨✨

What started as a way to bring people together through art has become so much more—a place to connect, create, learn something new, and have fun with your community.

Whether you’ve painted for years or have never picked up a brush, Melissa makes everyone feel welcome and reminds us that creativity is for everyone. ❤️

A sunny day, a sturdy tree, and a little sense of adventure. 🌳☀️

In Estacada, some of the best opportunities for health and wellness happen right outside our front doors. Whether it’s climbing trees, exploring local parks, hiking trails, or simply spending time outdoors, movement helps build strong bodies, healthy minds, and lasting memories.

Getting active doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s as simple as encouraging our kids to get outside and explore everything that makes Estacada such a special place to live.

What’s your family’s favorite outdoor spot in Estacada?

Health isn’t just about doctor visits — it’s about movement, belonging, support, and feeling connected to the community around you. 🌿

Here in Estacada, health creation means getting outside, building relationships, supporting one another, and creating spaces where people feel seen and valued. Small moments in nature and community can make a big impact on our well-being. 💚

What helps you feel connected and healthy in our community?
