You seriously don't want to miss this!
You can begin registering for the Northwest History and Heritage Extravaganza taking place April 15-18 in Portland.

The Extravaganza will combine the Oregon Heritage Conference and the Pacific Northwest History Conference, along with the annual meetings of
the Northwest Archivists and the Northwest Oral History Association, into a sesquicentennial special.

The Extravaganza's theme of "Rendezvous 2009!" reflects the sharing of ideas, perspectives, skills and cultures in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest that will take place. 
 
The Extravaganza will inform and inspire people. Attendees will include community leaders, staff and volunteers from historical societies, museums, historic cemeteries, ethnic organizations, schools, historic preservation commissions, humanities groups, the tourism industry, economic development, history buffs and professional historians, archaeologists, youth, and local, tribal, state and federal governments. All will be welcome at the Extravaganza.
 
The Extravaganza also will include the third annual Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards; presentations by university students who have been selected as Oregon Heritage Fellows; more than three dozen panel sessions; a half dozen workshops; and several tours.
