Why are there more fires in Oregon and what can be done for community prevention and engagement? Free programs at 11:30am and 1:30pm, both Saturday and Sunday. Talk with representatives from the Oregon State Fire Marshal's Office, Portland Fire & Rescue, and the Oregon State University Extension Fire Program, take in Ann Ruttan's gorgeous paintings. I'll be there both days to read excerpts of essays about the Eagle Creek Fire and to listen if you want to share your stories. Free admission May 20-21, 10am-4pm.
