3rd Saturday Walk moved to 4th Saturday due to Multnomah Days

It’s that time of year. As happens every year, our typical 3rd Saturday Walk conflicts with Multnomah Days. Mark your calendars and look for August 22 walk information next week.
But, no need to waste that day. SWTrails will be walking in the Parade. Come join us at 9:40 to walk at 10am. Just walk s/sw down Capital Hwy and find our gathering spot with our banner. Then enjoy the rest of the day visiting all the vendor booths along Capital Hwy!

Hope to see you all, if not walking the parade route, then coming to visit us at our booth!
