There will be over 2 dozen venue and arts organization participants. Plus, all the great bars, restaurants, shops, incredible street artists and street vendors that surround First Friday. Free to participants from 5:00 - 8:00 PM, the Art Walk celebrates the creative culture that makes Portland one of the best small cities in the country!

A tree hunter who has been recording ancient trees along the English and Welsh border has completed a trail he started 13 years ago to the day.
Rob McBride, from Ellesmere in Shropshire, has been walking the 177 mile (285km) Offa s Dyke path, logging hundreds of trees, since 23 April 2008.
Joking about the end of his journey he said: I must be a slow walker .
The project will be recorded in his forthcoming publication The Great Trees of Offa s Dyke.
