May is Small Business Month

As beautiful as our little corner of the world is, our communities would not be the pleasant places they are without our small businesses, who provide goods, services and JOBS that keep our families fed, our needs met and our visitors happy. Thanks for all you do to contribute to making South Wasco County a great place to live, work, and play. We are proud to partner with you.

The South Wasco Visitors Guide in FINISHED!

For the first time ever, there is a dedicated visitors guide to South Wasco County! Please join us in celebrating this milestone! The focus of the visitors guide is to highlight our regions history, and to showcase the businesses, services, events and attractions that our communities have to offer, particularly to tourists. The guide is currently being printed and free copies will be distributed to rafting outfitters, lodging partners and other locations as appropriate. If you would like a stack for your check out counter, let us know! The visitors guide has a QR code on the cover which links to maupinoregon.com, so its a tool for driving traffic to your directory listings as well. We hope you love it!
Building Your Business Workshops: May 16th & 30th

There have been 3 workshops so far in the series and there are two more scheduled this month. These will take place at the Maupin Civic Center and all are welcome to attend, no registration required. We have had a small but steady group attending so far, with room for many more! Reinventing Rural has much to offer and we plan to bring more of their programming into South Wasco in the coming months. Stay tuned!
Maupin Daze • Saturday, May 20th

This year's event coincides with the district track meet! You know what that means: town is going to be absolutely buzzing. This should be great for business but it may also require a bit of extra patience and tolerance as our little town gets inundated for the day. The parade will begin at 10 a.m., the Portland Taiko Drummers will perform in Kaiser Park at 11 a.m. and vendors will be set up til around 3:00 p.m. Thanks to our sponsors for helping us pull off another Maupin Daze event!




PS: Both MACC/Maupin Daze and DRAC are in need of additional volunteers on this Saturday. If you have a couple hours to spare and would like to contribute, please let us know!
Maupin Madness June 9 - 11th

Our motor cycle rally is officially in its 10th year and is celebrating with an extended weekend-long event. Proceeds will benefit the Legion Hall as well as our usual benefactor, Veterans Back 40 Adventure. Plan for an influx of bikers on this weekend and let us know what you have going on so we can let our riders know about it! All the details are at maupinmadness.com
