The Northwest Mural Fest has extended the public input and voting period on mural themes until January 11th, 2022. The community is encouraged to share their input by voting for the themes they would like to see go up on the walls around The Dalles during the 2022 Mural Fest.

Brad Johnson, Justin Riede and Pete McKearnan, above, are burning the midnight oil tonight, Oct. 15 as they paint a rodeo queen at the Oregon Motor Motel at 200 E. Second Street, The Dalles.

Voters in the mid-Columbia are wasting little time this election season. Ballot returns for the general election are coming in at a record pace in both Wasco and Hood River counties.
