Our July Issue

Our July issue is out this week and we think it epitomizes the best of Portland-area summers! We guide you through some of the metro region’s most inviting family-friendly farms and take you to Newport to explore the Oregon Coast Aquarium’s newest exhibit, Swampland . Our Family Fare column features Bob’s Red Mill – the perfect partner to all your summer baking projects and a wonderful family day trip to tour the mill and enjoy a fabulous wholesome meal. If you’re concerned about summer learning loss, we’ve got you covered with Cool Summer Science you can share with your kids in your home, your backyard, and even on the road, and we’ve invited some of the area’s finest children’s librarians to recommend this Summer’s Best Reads for kids of all ages and reading levels. Our Angels Among Us is especially exciting this month as we announce the long-awaited opening of Café au Play , a community gathering spot in southeast Portland. After years of ambitious planning, fundraising and hard work, the café and community hub is opening its doors on July 17 with a grand opening celebration for the whole community. Our Viewpoint offers tips for parents to help kids manage stress today and throughout their lives. As always, our Family Calendar is packed with summer fun for every day of the month, including a special section on Fairs, Festivals and Rodeos ! We hope you enjoy our July issue as much as we enjoyed putting it together. You can pick up a copy beginning this week, or read it online starting tomorrow. What does your family have planned this summer?
