by Joshua Albert

The Dalles, OR. Sep. 1, 2023- Labor Day weekend is here, and that means summer is drawing to a close. Although fall starts at the end of this month, the weather has made its drastic turn away from summer. But that doesn't mean our summer plans are over, there’s still plenty of adventure to be had. So, that led us to the question of the week: what great adventures are you up to this Labor Day weekend?

Denae Manion was sitting out with a canvas and showing off her painting skills. She said that her whole weekend is going to be covered in paint and will be out here with her canvases.

“I’m going to be spending my weekend raising money for my brother,” she said, “I’ll be out here doing face painting and a workshop, all the proceeds will go to him.”
