A trail of musical opportunities
from Boardman Marina Park to Riverfront Center; a pie baking contest,
pie social, & educational exhibits will all be part of the FREE afternoon
activities for October 13, 2002 Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Heritage
Observation in Boardman. The observation will be topped with a 7 PM concert
featuring “Music from the Era of Lewis & Clark” by THE TRAIL BAND.
The 4th annual Morrow County
heritage event recognizes October 19, 1805 when Lewis & Clark, the
Corps of Discovery, Sacagawea, her French trapper husband Charbonneau
and infant “Pomp” all visited and camped with native people
on a sandy island in the Mid Columbia. The island, off shore from Irrigon
Marina Park in North Morrow County, is now under the waters of the Columbia
River. The excitement of the Columbia River: blue water, views of distant
snow capped peaks and colorful sunsets is exactly the same as when the
Corps of Discovery floated by in wooden canoes.

Heritage Observation will begin at 2 PM on Sunday, October 13, with free
musical presentations along the Columbia River Heritage Trail. Visitors
are encouraged to explore the level paved trail connecting Boardman Marina
