“AMERICAN PICKERS” TO
FILM IN OREGON
Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz, and Antique
Archeology are coming to Oregon! The team
will film episodes of their hit series “American
Pickers” in Oregon in September. “American
Pickers” is a documentary series that explores
the fascinating world of antique ‘picking’ on the
History channel. This hit show follows two of
the most skilled pickers in the business, Mike
Wolfe and Frank Fritz, as they embark on an
epic road trip across the U.S. in search of
America’s most valuable antiques from
motorcycles, classic cars, and bicycles, to one-
of-a-kind vintage memorabilia. Mike and Frank
are on a mission to recycle America, restore
forgotten relics to their former glory, and learn
a thing or two about American history along the
way. They are looking for leads and would love
to explore what you may have. They are on the
hunt for interesting characters with interesting
and unique items.  They are looking for vintage
bicycles, toys, unusual radios, movie
memorabilia, advertising, military items, folk
art, vintage musical equipment, vintage
automotive items, early firefighting equipment,
vintage clothing, pre-50’s western gear, etc.  If
you have a large collection or want to refer
someone to Mike and Frank, email your name,
phone number, address, and description of the
collection
and
photos
to:
americanpickers@cineflix.com or call 855-old-
rust. The show is produced by Cineflix
Productions for History and airs on
Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.

GREENFIELD GRANGE
BREAKFAST
The Fourth of July is behind us, and now is a
good time to reflect on how important
volunteers are to community events, like the
July 4th celebrations that took place all over
our area. Very few of those who attend events
like these - the parades, runs/walks, etc. have
any idea how just a handful of dedicated
volunteers
spend
weeks
planning,
coordinating, fretting and worrying, that
everything will come together and work out all
right for everyone! There are meetings, phone
calls to make, mailings to do, and lots of list

doubled checked. Many of those volunteers
start physically working the night before,
setting out signage, especially for runs/walks.
Then those same volunteers are often up at
the crack of dawn and down at the run/walk
registration the next morning. Some then have
to rush over to help with the parade, others
head over to a park to help vendors get set up
for the event. Many of them are on the go all
day long, and by the time the fireworks are
over that night, they are really tired!
If you know one of these volunteers, please
join me in thanking them for their commitment
to their communities! These events would not
happen without them! And, when you see a
request to volunteer to help with an event in
your community, please consider lightening
their load by getting involved. THEY NEED
YOUR HELP if you want to see events like this
continue and grow!
Please join me in thanking all the
businesses, organizations, volunteers, etc. that
helped make all of our area’s July 4th
celebrations memorable!
