Summer Sundays At Dairyville Returns

PORTLAND, Ore. - June 15, 2018 - PRLog -- Oregon's oldest family-owned dairy is celebrating summer with the opening of Dairyville! Visitors can explore the western-themed town which includes a pioneer exhibit, Dairyville school, post office, Great Western Bank and their legendary model train display. And of course, no visit would be complete without stopping by the Ice Cream Parlor for a delicious scoop of Alpenrose ice cream.

The idea for Dairyville came from Carl Cadonau Sr., and was originally called Fun Day Sunday. It was open to the public on Sunday's following church as a way for community members and families to spend quality time together. Activities such as pony rides, frog jumping, kite racing, pie eating and cow milking were popular among the crowds. Visitors also loved the challenge of climbing a pole covered in bacon fat. Successful young climbers would earn a silver dollar for making it to the top.

Although the modern-day activities have evolved since its founding, the purpose of Dairyville remains the same, to bring the community together for a fun day with their families. Dairyville remains free for the public and is open every Sunday from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. through Aug. 26.

Alpenrose Dairy is located at 6149 SW Shattuck Road, off the Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway.
