Always Something to Do in Portland, Oregon

Deschutes Brewery Street Fare

There is always something to do in Portland, Oregon. Just check out the A&E section of the Oregonian, Willamette Week’s what’s happening, The Fulton House Blog or the Travel Portland website.

The Deschutes Brewery Street Fare event from August 12 was great fun. This event helped support the “Morrison Children & Family Services” which works towards restoring childhood, helps rebuilding families and strives for renewing hope.

The Deschutes Brewery paired several Portland Food Carts with their brews. For Only a $5 entry included 1st Food & Beer Taster and additional Food & Beer Tasters were $4. What a great bargain with Street Food from Portland’s Best Food Carts, Live, local Mustic from Sally Ford & the Sounders and Outside & AgesandAges plus the featured Craft Beers from Deschutes Brewery.

Here a few of the Food Carts which included a food sample plus a featured Beer. Pyro Pizza served a Margherita Pizza on wheat crust paired with Twilight Ale — Garden State Meatball sliders with Sage Brush Pilsner – Oregon Ice Works a peach, strawberry or chocolate Black Butte Porter paired with Hop Henge Experimental IPA plus 7 other beers and food carts for the downtown area.

It’s Hot in Portland, Oregon! Splish, Splash I am going where????

Kayaking in Portland, Oregon

Now is the time for Kayaking in Portland, Oregon’s Waterways

“In Oregon, if there’s a waterway, someone has kayaked it. And there are a lot of waterways, from white-water rivers to calm estuaries and bays to even calmer wetland areas that are great for wildlife viewing” (from Tour Oregon).

The sun is shining and the water is calm, now is the time to book your next vacation here at the Fulton House Bed & Breakfast and begin a new adventure—Kayaking the Willamette River located right here in the heart of the City. Portland Metro area is an ideal playground for kayaking and canoeing.

The Fulton House is located one block from Willamette Park and only three blocks from the Portland Kayak Company where they offer classes, rentals, tours, daily trips, boat sales and kayaking gear. They have everything you need to start your kayaking adventures right here in the Fulton House neighborhood just steps from the Willamette River, allowing easy access for kayak rentals, demos, guided kayak tours and classes.

And you can start right here just a few minutes out your door to begin your adventure. All you’ll need to do is head to the Portland Kayaking company and they can provide you with quality kayaks and top notch guides to ensure a safe and enjoyable paddling experience or adventure on your own if you have had an essential kayaking course or equivalent experience.

Willamette Park-One block from the Fulton House

Prices are very reasonable for tours and rentals. They even have a variety of excursions to the uninhabited island Espiritu Santo on their tours to the Baja.

After a day on the water come back and enjoy a glass of wine or soak in the hot tub.

Join us at 2010 Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival, July 2-5, Tom McCall Waterfront Park

"Water Front Blues" Tom McCall Park

The Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival is the largest blues festival on the West Coast and the second largest blues festival in the nation.

The festival not only brings the best blues artists to Portland, it benefits Oregon Food Bank’s work to eliminate hunger and its root causes … because no one should be hungry.

And we still have rooms left. So don’t delay – book your reservations now. Call us at 503-892-5781. or book on-line at www.thefultonhouse.com

Also, remember that there’s a bus stop a half-block from The Fulton House, which will take you downtown to the Festival.

“Weird Oregon” & Open House

Weird Oregon Book Signing Event

If you joined us for our “Open House & “Weird Oregon” book signing Event on June 12th, thank you for coming and we hoped you enjoyed our first of many events here at the B & B. If you were unable to attend, you will have other opportunities during 2010 to join us. Saturday’s event was filled with great conversations and stories, good fixings from “Uncle Reo’s BBQ”, unique varieties of beers from the “Beer Mongers” in SE Portland, Wine from John’s Wine Cellar and great people.

Jeff Davis--Author, Weird Oregon

Jeff Davis, co-author of “Weird Oregon” visited with guests, shared stories and talked about his ghosts and paranormal adventures. Books were available for purchase as well as personalized and signed. A treasure for your coffee table or just a fun book about legends and places to travel here in Oregon. Maybe it could be your 100 things to see and do in Oregon–add it to your bucket list. Click here to check out his website.

If you missed this event, Jeff and his co-author will be revealing some of the most exciting, yet strange stories, that they encountered while they were creating the book, at these venues:

May 19, 6:30 p.m., Barnes & Noble, 18300 N.W. Evergreen Parkway, Beaverton, both will appear.

May 21, 7 p.m., Barnes & Noble, 1317 Lloyd Center, Portland, both will appear.

May 22, 2 p.m., Barnes & Noble, 2690 N.E. Highway 20, Bend, only Jeff will appear (now that’s weird).

So what are some of the things that keep Portland weird, according to the authors? A jug-shaped building, a Paul Bunyan statue, a Russian coffee house. And even the Fulton House Bed & Breakfast found on page 60 & 61, “Could we be Nancy Bogg’s infamous Bordello?”

Weird Oregon

For every Weird Oregon book purchased at the Fulton House Bed & Breakfast, the Innkeeper donated $5.00 to the Providence Cancer Center/Portland for cancer research. Wendy will be sending a check for $200. A special “Thank you” to everyone who purchased a book!

Cancer Center Providence Portland, Oregon

Thank you all for making this event successful and we hope to see you at our future events. Follow this blog to find out about our up-coming events.
