Businesses and non-
profi t community groups
in Umatilla County are
invited to apply for fi nan-
cial assistance through the
Community & Economic
Development Small Grants
Program.
Economic Development
grants support efforts that
will result in an increase of
jobs and economic growth.
This can apply to new busi-
nesses planning to open in
Umatilla County or exist-
ing businesses looking to
grow.
Community Develop-
ment grants are focused
on projects that enhance
a community rather than
simply being a donation
sponsoring an event, cause
or activity. The idea is that
there will be something
tangible that remains in the
community beyond the end
of the project. Eligible proj-
ects could include those
that require a grant match
from other programs.
The deadline to apply for
a 2019 third quarter grant
is Wednesday, Sept. 18 by
5 p.m. For a grant applica-
tion, search www.umatilla-
county.net. For questions,
contact Gail Nelson, eco-
nomic development coor-
dinator, at 541-278-6283
or gail.nelson@umatilla-
county.net.
Here’s the
scoop on ice
cream
During National Ice
Cream Month (July), the
Oregon Dairy and Nutri-
tion Council embarked on
an effort to identify the
state’s landmark ice cream
shops.
The
dairy
council
recently released the Ore-
gon Ice Cream Trail, which
includes the SAGE Center,
101 Olson Road, Board-
man. Tillamook ice cream
is available at the center’s
store. Other Eastern Oregon
shops on the trail include
La Grande’s Hought’s 24
Flavors and Mal’s Diner
in Vale. And, when you’re
off the beaten path be sure
to check out Goldie’s Ice
Cream, which is open sea-
sonally in Shaniko.
Initially, the council
identifi ed 10 shops and
then decided to seek input
to create the trail map. It
includes 53 fan favorites
from across the state —
featuring all varieties of
scoop and soft serve ice
cream, custard, gelato and
even frozen yogurt — all
made in Oregon.
Before your next road
trip or to celebrate National
Chocolate Milkshake Day
(Sept. 12), be sure to refer
to the Oregon Ice Cream
Trail. A trail map and infor-
mation is available at www.
odncouncil.org. For ques-
tions, call 503-229-5033.
