A lison F ieldhouse _____________
Are you tired of going to Grandma's? Sick of
being home for a whole week with nothing to do?
Then plan a fun and exciting getaway for the coming
Thanksgiving Break. Flights are cheaper than ever, but
if you're still wary of the airport, then plan a road trip
with friends. If leaving the state isn't on your agenda
then stay in state, Oregon has plenty destinations
filled with fun attractions.
