Living Tigard - Your guide to everything Tigard

Will you be shopping the early morning sales on the Friday following Thanksgiving?  Are you the type that is out pre-dawn?  Do your legs get weary from all of the wandering?  I have a great solution to give you a break and to help get you into the Christmas Spirit!

Macy's will be hosting it's annual Holiday Parade beginning at 8:45 AM.  The kids can watch as their beloved characters float by.  You can enjoy the live music as the parade passes by.  All getting you ready for the amazing season before us.  This year, the parade route is slightly different; it will begin at NW Park and Davis, then travel east to Broadway, south on Broadway to SW Alder, east on Alder (past Macy's) to 4th, north on 4th to NW Flanders, west on Flanders to Park.

Once you are done with you are done watching this parade pass, resume your shopping.  Grab a bite to eat at one of the local bistros or your favorite restaurant.  Shop some more.  Just be ready, because at 5:30 PM...

The Tree Lighting Ceremony will begin on the 75 foot Christmas tree in the middle of Pioneer Courthouse Square.  With thousands of people participating in the singing of Christmas carols, you may want to get there early and secure a spot. 

Whatever you do with the rest of your Thanksgiving weekend, I encourage you to spend it with family, friends, and those that you love.  We are starting another season full of all things warm and good.  Enjoy!

You may not know this about Oregon.  It is one of the top producing wine regions in the United States.  And, may I say...for good reason! 

This is not the first year I have let you know about this event.  You may have read about it in a past post of mine, or it may be news to you.  Either way, the Oregon Wineries of the Willamette valley are celebrating their 27th Annual Wine Country Thanksgiving this year, and I want you to be a part of it!  I have been a wine enthusiast for several years now.  I have experimented with wines from all over the world.  While there are many great wines out there, from many unique places, I am pleased to say that Oregon ranks right up there among the best that I have had. 

I will tell you that there are over 160 wineries that are involved in this ginormous event, I think it best that you investigate the wealth of information at the Willamette Wines website.  From 11 AM - 5 PM most wineries will be open with specials to check out. 

Personally, I am most likely be found one day at the Argyle Winery, a personal favorite of mine.  But, I hope to visit a few others and find some new favorites too. 

So, go, pay a visit, and enjoy!  Take your girl friends and make a day of it sipping the new releases as well as the more aged vintages.  Take your significant other, and take a romantical stroll through the vineyards.  Go out with another couple...or three or four ~ meeting the winemakers.  I hope to see you there!
