The Columbia Gorge chapter meet for a fall social on Wednesday, November 15 at Freebridge Brewery in The Dalles with 10 participants.
The fun started with everyone identifying the agricultural products in our pizza, beer, wine and water and noting that local grain is used in the pizza crust and beer!
Chapter members greeted potential new members and gave an overview of all the activities our chapter does and what OWA does at the state level, as well as an invitation for everyone to attend state convention in Astoria in February.
Our local newspaper, The Dalles Chronicle, recently interviewed chapter President Cindy Brown and Vice President Deanna Sudan for an upcoming feature on Oregon Women in Agricutlure in a Farm & Ranch Special Edition.
In August 2018, our chapter will take over the steak feed at Dufur Vintage Days (formerly the Dufur Threshing Bee).
Our next meeting will be in January 2018.
Cindy Brown, President
