17 Unusual Things to Do in Portland (from a Local) explorersue.com/unusual-things… via @pdxtravelgal

Susan is a past #SmallTownTourismChat host, and we just perused her article on 17 Unusual Things to Do in Portland. A lot of great ideas! Really want to go to Mill Ends Park now! ;-)

Zero proof bars are on the rise! We get some kudos for having a couple of larger events that are zero proof also. #SmallTownTourismChat

Another hearty thanks to @WA_Maryville for cohosting this month! It was great to see you again, and a #roadtrip your way is long overdue! #SmallTownTourismChat

Those passes are great! We use the ones in Seattle too, a bit of savings, and inspires us to try a few other places! #SmallTownTourismChat

Two great options here. And I know there's a lot more! Has been a sec since I've been to a Celtic Festival, need to ramp those efforts up as I do enjoy! #SmallTownTourismChat Way to go Visit Cheyenne, WY 🤠 #celtic #Frontier

We like to do the same. Depending on time available we can simply head to our nearby trails, or head up to the national forests which are as close as 30 minutes! #SmallTownTourismChat

We need to update our blog detailing the free fun things to do here. Thanks for the reminder Visit Cheyenne, WY 🤠 - your input always appreciated! #SmallTownTourismChat

Hopefully you get a nice group of volunteers for #Earthday plantings! #SmallTownTourismChat
