PARKDALE — The Parkdale Summer Party will be on July 27 from 3-6 p.m. at the Red Barn Park at 4943 Baseline Dr., Parkdale. This family-friendly community gathering was rescheduled to July 27. Enjoy music with your neighbors in the Red Barn Park. All are welcome! The gathering will be chock-full of fun activities, including music, karaoke, a dance contest and a pie-eating contest! The Hood River County Library bookmobile and One Community Health will join the summer party too.
“I think it is important to have a summer gathering that is welcoming to all,” said organizer Judy Zimmerman. The event will be held in the Red Barn Park, home of the oldest building in Parkdale, an old logging truck and a lovely wire sculpture. This park once served as a train stop for the Mt. Hood Railroad, when it hauled logs, fruit and workers up and down the valley. The event is made possible through generosity of the Salvador Fund.
This event is hosted by the Parkdale Grange, the Hutson Museum and the Hood River Latino Network. The Parkdale Grange is a local arm of the National Grange organization. The Grange is a family and community organization with its roots in agriculture. The Hutson Museum is a small history museum located in Parkdale, Oregon. The Hood River Latino Network is a social justice organization that works closely with the Rural Organizing Project, a group that advocates for rural communities and rural Oregonians.
