<DIV>On Highway 97, just south of The Dalles is a place called DeMoss
Springs. It isn't</DIV>
<DIV>really a town, but it was named for the DeMoss Family who came to Oregon
in</DIV>
<DIV>1864. DeMoss Springs is a park just north of Moro. There is a
picnic area, a</DIV>
<DIV>bandstand where the DeMoss Family Bards initially performed, restrooms,
etc.</DIV>
<DIV>A grant has been given by the State of Oregon to re-build the bandstand
and</DIV>
<DIV>create new facilities. This will be finished sometime in 2008.
We are hoping that</DIV>
<DIV>all the DeMoss families all over America will come to this reunion.
It has not been</DIV>
<DIV>held for several years because of the condition of the park, but in earlier
days a</DIV>
<DIV>DeMoss family reunion attracted more than 200 members. We hope that
there</DIV>
<DIV>will be a huge turnout when the park is renovated.</DIV>
