Starting July 8th, this 10-day experience will be an Action-Packed one that's become a "coming together" of several longtime summer events.

The celebration gears up with the welcoming of the David Thompson Voyageur Canoe Brigade. They are celebrating the Bicentennial of Thompson's historic journey in 1811 to map the Columbia River from the source to the mouth.

Many museums, historic landmarks and public buildings will be opened with special displays and activities for all, including the 'Rough-N-Wild' Pro Rodeo (July 13-16). Be sure to check these all of the other events that will be occurring.
