Winter Snowshoe Hikes is going
on right now up until April. Crater Lake offers Free,
Ranger-Guided Snowshoe Hikes every Saturday & Sunday at 1:00
p.m. The hikes cover a mile of moderately difficult terrain
through forest, meadows and along the crater's rim, and last for
about 90 minutes. This is so much fun and great
exercise. If you don't have snowshoes, they will provide
them free of charge, so you don't have any excuse. If we can do
it, so can you. Try it, you'll like it! You do have
to make a reservation, so call them as soon as possible at:
541-594-3100 for more information. |
Enjoy the Winter

This Year is starting out with a lot
of changes. We have the first African-American president
of the United States, "Barack Obama". At the
same time that this election was going on, Shady Cove was
electing a new Mayor and 2 Councilors. Ruth Keith decided
not to run again this year, for Mayor. She will truly be
missed, and her legacy will always be for getting everyone off
FEMA. Thank You Ruth Keith. The two candidates that ran
for Mayor were Rick Mori and Ron Holthusen. Ron Holthusen
won the Mayor position. The final results are listed
below.
Alison Curtis and Lois Holland stepped down
from their Council positions. There were 4 Candidates
running for the 2 seats. They were Forrest (Bud )Rees, Judy
Shanrock, Margaret Bradburn and Leith Hayes. Margaret

Cove, is the Wildflower Show. If you have never been, make

at the Shady Cove Middle School Gymnasium. The donations
from the Wildflower Show are used to purchase Medical Equipment

The 2nd Annual Thrifty

served to them by the students.
There is no admission charge but donations are accepted.
Local business sponsor tables for $25.00,
or $35.00 each. The
difference in the price of the sponsorship is for the kids that
can not even afford to purchase items at the Thrift Stores.
All the tables are decorated by the
students. Each table
has the sponsor’s business cards, and items pertaining to
their business on the table.
All sponsors are included in the advertising, as well.
They are listed in the program for everyone to take home.
Last year this event was a very big success. Help support
the community by attending

Everything
Christmas in the Village of Shady Cove Children's
Christmas Party at Fire Dept. |
The 3rd "Everything
Christmas in the Village of Shady Cove" I'm sure will be taking
place again this year. Come and see how beautifully all the
businesses have decorated their shops. Find something truly
unique for everyone on your Christmas list. You'll be amazed
at what great finds there are in the Village of Shady Cove. Don't
fight the crowds or traffic. The dates are set for Friday
December 12th & 13th.
The Shady Cove Business Association will be joining together with the
Shady
Cove Fire Department by having a Children's Christmas Party for
children of all ages. Santa will be there to have pictures taken of your
child for FREE. Last year, there were tables set-up for cookie decorating
and Christmas crafts Each child will be given a stocking consisting of
fruit, candy, a coloring book and stuffed animals . Every
family was given a fir seedling donated by ODF. Refreshments were be
served to the adults. The event was held at the Shady Cove
Fire Dept., but because of the enormous response, they are
looking into finding a larger space to have this event take
place this year. It is too early to
set the time, place and date for this event. It was
wonderful to see all the children have such a great time. Check
out the pictures for yourself.
Let's give a special thank you to all of the Shady
Cove Fire Department Support Group volunteers who made this
event possible. This was followed by the Shady Cove Merchants having a tree lighting ceremony
at on the corner of Chaparral and Highway 62. Unfortunately,
last year, someone decided to cut the lights after this took
place. Needless to say, lights will need to donated for
this event to take place again this year. Here
are some pictures of last year's event.
|
Rivertech would like to wish everyone a
very Merry Christmas and thank everyone that made this Website
possible!
If you would like us to list an event
that we overlooked, just email
me and I will make sure that it is listed for Free!
