From the publisher’s desk

Hello, Mountain Timers,
It is not hard to notice the amount of people who flock to the Mountain in the summertime from the valley and elsewhere.That being said, one of the first questions I asked last year when I started with The Mountain Times is where do people who live on the Mountain go for fun? I received several great answers, into the big city, out to the Coast, out of state. This month, I hope folks consider heading down to the Clackamas County Fair & Rodeo, which runs from August 13–17 at the fairgrounds in Canby. I know it is a bit of a hike from the Mountain, but it’s worth the trip. If you come on down, see about heading through the blue gates, and you just might meet me or my wife as we help out there each year taking tickets. Guaranteed to be fun for the entire family. In the meantime, I hope everyone is having a great summer.
Until next month.....
Sincerely,
Matthew Nelson
