History Nights at McMenamins "Women and Rock Music: How Oregon Turns
Girls into Rock Stars,"  presented by Mina Carson and Susan Shaw. Live
Music.
Tuesday, June 22, 2010 7:00 pm
Women have always been part of the Northwest's vibrant music scene,
from jazz to classical to rock and roll. Two experts on women in rock
and roll tell the stories of how Oregon became such an important part of
the rock and roll scene for women. The Northwest has helped build the
careers of girl bands with institutions like the Rock N Roll Camp for
Girls in Portland, enrolling future girl rockers ages 7 to 18.

TRAVEL OREGON OPENS APPLICATION TO RURAL TOURISM STUDIO 
Communities (or a cluster of small communities in the same region) in
rural areas who have identified tourism as a priority economic
development strategy are invited to apply for participation in Travel
Oregon's Rural Tourism Studio.  

This four month, community-based planning and capacity building program
is designed to provide communities with strategic direction on tourism
development and stimulate new tourism products and business development.
 

Based upon principles of sustainable tourism, the program provides
participants with information and skills to capitalize on Oregon's
tourism industry, develop tourism marketing strategies, and develop new
visitor experiences in Oregon's key target markets such as cycling
tourism, agritourism, geotourism, cultural tourism and sustainable
tourism.  

The program aims to harness the power of community collaboration and
leave behind engaged and informed community leaders to implement
community objectives identified throughout the program.  

Graduating communities will also gain preferred applicant status and
will be eligible to apply for up to $10,000 from Travel Oregon's
Matching Grant Program following completion of the program.

Communities may apply for the Fall 2010 program which runs October 2010
through January 2011 and the Spring 2011 program which runs February
through May 2011.  

Applications are due by Friday, July 19, 2010.
