DEM A RCO It’s summertime and the living is easy, so cel- ebrate with the Friends of Buford Park and Mt. Pisgah’s Pisgah Heritage Festival. The event will feature the cultural, agricultural and nat- ural heritage of the Mount Pisgah and Howard Buford Park area. A family friendly event, it'll offer fun activities, guided kid-friendly hikes, live music and food. For the adults, Wildcraft Cider Works will pour tastings of ciders made from heritage fruit harvested in the North Bottomlands, which includes a non-alco- holic sparkling cider. Agrarian Ales will also have their IPA made with Seavey hops and Territorial Vineyard will have locally produced wines for sale. The event is an opportunity to explore the historic north bottomlands of Bu- ford Park, located between the Coast Fork and the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. Pisgah Heritage Festival runs 4 to 8 pm Saturday, June 23, at Native Plant Nursery at Buford Park, which is located at 34639 Frank Parrish Road. Suggested donations of $5 for adults and FREE for kids under 12 and members. — Henry Houston We are now taking online submissions for our What’s Happening calendar.
