Town Pride

The Dalles community members begin voting for the city Tuesday morning, Jan. 14, as they gather at the Neon Museum downtown for a televised announcement of the city’s nomination as one of the “top five” cities in the running for a season with Small Business Revolution, an online small business makeover show. Pictured are, left to right, The Dalles Mayor Richard Mays; City Councilor Tim McGLothlin; Charlotte Palmer, a The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce volunteer; and Beverly and Tom Krueger.

The winning town in the Small Business Revolution’s voting competition, in which The Dalles competed with four other towns  to be the featured town of the fifth season of its business revitalization program, will be announced at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28, and a watch party will be held at The Dalles Civic Auditorium as the winner is declared.

Doors open at 4:30, with snacks and a no host bar in the community room.
