CARE TO SADDLE UP for the July 4 parades in Hood River County? Groups and individuals are welcome to get involved, just
as these cyclists rode the route in 2014. This year’s theme is “Beautiful Bounty,” and organizers are encouraging pre-registra-
tion for the parade (see story for details). Also on the schedule for July 4, the 4 p.m. Odell parade, which forms at 3 p.m. at Mid
Valley Elementary.
Plan ahead for July 4 weekend fun
The Hood River Lions
are working with other
community groups for an-
other great Independence
Day salute to the United
States. Set for Saturday,
July 4, the day opens with
the 40th annual Kollas-
Cranmer Run/Walk from
Odell to Jackson Park in
Hood River.
Registration starts at 7
a.m. at Mid-Valley Ele-
mentary School. Walkers
start at 8 a.m. and runner
begin their contest at 9
a.m.
www.4thofjuly
run.com
The parade, with the
theme of “Beautiful
Bounty,” will start at 10:00
a.m. with the line up on
Eliot Drive beginning at
8:30 a.m. To speed up the
registration, forms and
instructions can be ob-
tained by linking to
“gorgelions.org.”
The parade fee is $10
and there will be mone-
tary prizes for the best en-
tries.
The grand marshal will
be the people associated
with Fish Food Bank
which opened its new fa-
cility last month. The
theme is “Beautiful Boun-
ty” describing the won-
derful area of the Hood
River Valley and Colum-
bia River Gorge and the
assistance that is given to
our neighbors by the Fish
Food Bank. Attendees are
asked to bring a can of
fruit or soup to Jackson
Park that will be given to
the FISH Food Bank.
For safety to children
There is still time to share
your photos of summer fun
with the community, in a
photo contest sponsored The
Next Door Inc.
Once again this year, in
celebrating “Oregon Parent-
ing Education Week,” the Co-
lumbia Gorge Parenting Ed-
ucation Program of The
Next Door seeks photos of
children from birth to eight
years interacting with an
adult in a healthy activity.
Activities can include a fam-
ily outing, playing, eating,
story time, making a craft,
playing at a park, or any
other healthy adult and child
interaction.
Parenting Education Coor-
dinator Nancy Johanson
Paul said, “In the past two
years, photographers have
captured wonderful mo-
ments showing the joy, fun,
teaching and learning that
happens between adults and
children through their inter-
action together. I am very ex-
cited to see this year’s amaz-
ing photos!”
Plan to submit photos by
June 30. Photos can include a
parent, grandparent, child
care provider, preschool
teacher,
or
other
adult. Submissions can in-
clude up to five photos. Eight
photos will be chosen for a
community photo display,
and each of those eight pho-
tographers will receive a $50
gift
cer tificate
from
G.Willikers Toy Store. Only
Apr. 18th
Jan.
5 pm
1pm 7th
or · 6pm
one winner will be allowed
per family.
Photos must show an adult
and a child interacting to-
gether, and must include a
child age birth to eight years.
All photos must be in JPG
format, with a minimum of
300 dpi. Download an entry
form at www. nextdoorinc
.org/photo. Each photogra-
pher can submit up to 5 pho-
tos.
The Columbia Gorge Par-
enting Education Program of
Hood River and Wasco Coun-
ties would like to emphasize
the importance of skilled
and caring parents, grand-
parents, foster parents, and
child care providers in the
lives of children. This year
more photos are needed from
Wasco County photogra-
phers. Some of the pho-
tos will be used in The Next
Door publication “Parenting
in the Gorge Guide” Septem-
ber 2015-August 2016 .
Parenting education helps
parents and caregivers learn
how to best support their
child’s development and pro-
mote the child’s success in
school and life. In parenting
classes, parents learn to have
realistic expectations for
themselves and for their chil-
dren. The improved knowl-
edge of positive parenting
practices and normal child
development encourages lov-
ing and skilled parenting,
which helps ensure the
child’s well-being.
