Oregon Zoo

We are bringing back the “outing,” a well cherished tradition by offering dancers and their families a trip to the Oregon Zoo! This will occur on Thursday morning and will get you back to the hotel in time for professional meetings or ceilidh dancing for the dancers. Transportation will be provided. More details to follow.
