As summer starts, The Dalles is seeing a change in its schedule of activities for the season with no Fort Dalles Rodeo this year. The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lisa Farquharson says even though the rodeo will be missed, there will still be plenty of attractions in the coming weeks, starting with Fort Dalles Fourth during Independence Day weekend. Farquharson says she hopes the rodeo can return in 2017, adding she knows the impact the event can have for local businesses.
