The plan may include maintaining popular activities and programs as well as creating new ones.
An important part of this process is asking our visitors to let us know what they like. This simple survey should take less than five minutes. It will help us create the best possible programs, activities, exhibits and events for some of our favorite people – our guests! <GB> ATTENTION BLOG FOLLOWERS!!!
Welcome to the new year of 2014! With a new year comes new changes for us. We have created a new blog site that we will be using in lieu of the other one located at trailtender.blogspot.com. We hope that our new site is more user friendly and visually appealing to our followers. With our new blog site we will be posting a blog WEEKLY. We will continue to keep everyone up to date on current and upcoming events out here at the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. We will also be providing more in-depth educational information that will include pictures, slide shows and videos. Also, a new thing we are going to begin with our new blog site will be instructional "How-To's" and "DIY" (do it yourself) blog postings so that we can teach you how to make simple crafts at home. Our new blog site has a feature we use that will instantly post a link to our Facebook page every time we post a new blog. Also on our new site, we have direct links to our Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Pinterest, Trail Tender Site and YouTube. This will give you, as a user, easier access to everything that we have to offer. If you are not already following us on those other websites, here's your chance to easily look us up and do so. Thank you for your support and interest! We will continue to do our best to offer everything you are looking for. If you have any questions or comments, please take advantage of the "Contact Us" section on our new site and send us a direct email. ENJOY! <RH> |
