Did you know Tofurky was invented and is produced in Hood River, Oregon?

And did you know that the Washington Park Oregon Zoo is offering free admission on Thanksgiving?

In appreciation for the public’s generous support of the $125 million bond measure to improve outdated exhibits and make the zoo more sustainable, we’re holding an open house on Thanksgiving Day, with free admission. Come learn more about the zoo and its programs.

Then Friday there’s Macy’s holiday parade downtown. And a million shoppers cavorting around all the malls and stores. I recommend staying in all weekend, recovering from the Tofurky. Save your energy for the Holiday Ale Festival which starts next Wednesday!
