Since 2007, the Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District (THPRD) has sponsored our local celebration of food, music, and history on the grounds of the historic JQA Young House on Cornell near 119th.

We are delighted to bring back our community celebration. See how the pioneers made cider with antique, hand-cranked presses, and sample the results. Boy Scout Troop 208 looks forward every year to running the antique presses to turn out free fresh cider from 1000 lbs. of apples, donated by Market of Choice. Grab a glass or two, you'll be amazed at the taste! Hard cider provider TBA.

Listen to the bluegrass and old-time music of the Whiskey Deaf Duet. Enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch.

Entertainment

The Whiskey Deaf Duet (Annie Staninec & John Kael) is the musical entertainment this year. This duo plays mostly bluegrass, early country, “old-time,” and a few oddball numbers a bit outside those lines—a mix of vocal and instrumental, and mostly on guitar and fiddle.

We know you will enjoy their music!

Our real history

The History Tent tells our history stories with a collection of photos from Cedar Mill History Museum.

The Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District (THPRD) owns the house and grounds, and is the main sponsor of the event. A portion of the proceeds from the Vendor Alley sales will go to the restoration fund. Donations are also welcome!

For the kids

THPRD will bring along the Rec Mobile to provide games and activities under the spreading hickory tree, including pioneer coloring pages.

The grounds are wheelchair accessible, although the area is not paved and can be rough in spots. Free parking will be available after 1 pm in the Cedar Mill Bible Church parking lot. Look for the signs on Cornell. For information about this event call THPRD at 503-645-6433.

TriMet - Lines 62 Murray & 48 Cornell depart from the Sunset Transit Center.
