 Proudly be Part of the Promotion!!
Loved that the Chamber Newsletter promoted the recently unveiled "This Is Gresham" and Gresham Song videos by the City of Gresham promoting what a great place Gresham is to live, work, and play! We took those videos and posted them to our "Facebook" in hopes of spreading the word to all our virtual friends and customers. We encourage you to do the same. You will love the Gresham Song video. Take a few minutes and view them...they will make you smile. I saw someone I know in the videos (I loved seeing Spud). You might see a friend or two making a video star appearance promoting our star-studded town.
While we want all "locals" to Try Local First, we REALLY want those from out of the area, out of the state and out of the country to visit our great community, spend the night in one of our comfy hotels or bed and breakfasts, experience our many unique local restaurants and spend money shopping. But that can only happen if they know we are here. So, watch the videos, make a comment, post them for your virtual (and real) friends, and send them directly to family encouraging them to spend their vacation here - a short drive from the Coast or Mt. Hood.
Our headline needs to be made by our own words because we know "Gresham is Great!" Click here to view the videos.

Mist that comes from an orange peel, the smell of flowers, and a Douglas fir tree's woody smell are all aromatic compounds, from the plant, that are cold pressed or steam distilled to make that essential oil.
Norwex - Kathy Hill - Chemical Free Tips
Did you know Norway was ranked the World's #1 country in 2014 Prosperity Index for Wealth and Well-Being? It might be because they are very aware of keeping their pristine forests clean and their waters pure for future generations to enjoy too.
