Fun for The Whole Family!When: Sat, Aug 20, 2011 7PM-10PM |
Pack a Picnic, Bring a Blanket
"A mysterious criminal mastermind has stolen one of the pyramids in Egypt, sparking a fit of jealous envy in evil genius Gru, who hasn't managed to make headlines since he and his minions swiped the Times Square JumboTron years back. Ever since Gru was a little boy, he dreamed of going to the moon. Now, if Gru can just build a rocket and get his hands on a powerful shrink-ray, he can cement his reputation as the greatest thief who ever lived by stealing --- the Earth's satellite."
Join us for Cinema Under the Stars night at HB Lee Middle School. Bring a chair or blanket and enjoy a free showing of 4-star rated Despicable Me, rated PG. Despicable Me is a surprisingly thoughtful, family-friendly treat with a few surprises of its own. Fun begins at 7:00PM, and the movie will start at dusk.

A lasting vestige of East Multnomah County's agricultural roots
A delightful 1874 Victorian farmhouse
Take a step back into history at the Zimmerman House, a Victorian era farmhouse, built in 1874 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This beautiful farmhouse is a perfect reflection of typical Columbia River dairy farm life in the late 1800s. The Zimmerman Heritage Farm is a unique cultural education and recreational resource that is being created for the benefit of the public on a 5.98-acre historic site in Gresham, Oregon.

 Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge |
Beautiful and inspiring
When: Sun Aug 21, 2011 8AM-11AM |
Kiwa Trail Loop
Wildlife is the star attraction of this nearly level hike. Birds in particular seem to be everywhere—standing in the marshes, flitting in the trees, floating on the lakes, swimming in the sloughs, and hunting among the meadow grasses.
Join leaders Robin Carpenter and Gabriel Forcier for a walk around the Kiwa Trail at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. The 1.5 mile flat, crushed gravel trail passes through an understory of Oregon ash trees and between open wetland areas. Dress for the weather, hats recommended. Beginners welcome.
