It's almost time for the Summer Main Event!

The Main Event - our summer registration fair for CPRD, Chehalem Cultural Center, and PCC - is just three weeks away, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 21st at Chehalem Cultural Center.

Each of our departments is cooking up fun things for you. Here's a sneak peek at just some of the things we're working on.

- Did you know we're offering a two-day beer brewing class, taught by a microbiology professor, just in time for Father's Day? The instructor will be there to tell you all about it!

- Free massages, again - because who couldn't benefit from ten minutes of aaaaahhhh? This is the Gentle Touch massage.

- Chi Gong demonstrations you can join in

- Math Night activities, just four days away from the big Math Night itself

-Musical Theater will perform again, thank you Community School...

- Zumba, Zumba, Zumba! Come rock out the gym with mini dance parties all day long. This is what made people say "The party is in the gym!" at the last Main Event.

- Chehalem Paddle Launch will be there with kayaks to introduce to our area's own kayak rental program which is launching this summer. Seriously! Did you know? You will after May 21st.

And we're stuffing CPRD prize bags with vouchers for every single department, plus a sports Main Event sized T-shirt. We'll give away prize bags to the first 50 people to sign up for any activity during the event.

There will be much more, to be sure. Mark you calendar. We're looking forward to seeing you!

What is there to do in Newberg and Dundee?

Imagine you could go to a fun, free, family daytime event and find out everything there is to do with CPRD, PCC and Chehalem Cultural Center for the next season.

IT'S COMING!

You could try out 10-minute sample classes for free, or just hover in the back and watch. You could take your kids and sign them up for everything from pottery to softball to music lessons. You could meet up with a friend and check out a Zumba demo, or linger over a cup of coffee having a one-on-one conversation with an instructor about what they teach and how they teach it.

You could sign up for everything with all three right then and there and have your family's spring activities planned.

IT'S COMING!

CPRD, PCC and the cultural center are bringing you a three-ring circus starting with our first-ever Main Event, Under the Big Top at Chehalem Cultural Center. Bring your kids, meet up with friends. Drop in anytime during the course of the day for entertainment, demos, refreshments, door prizes, and fun.

And if you register for a CPRD activity that day, you'll receive a bag of CPRD premiums valued at $120!

This free Saturday event will happen four times a year, to kick off each season. Be there for the very first one!
