Fort Dalles Days is being temporarily discontinued.  The Fort Dalles Days steering committee made the decision in the wake of the Fort Dalles Rodeo Association announcing in August 2015 they would suspend plans for its annual rodeo due to the sale of the rodeo grounds in west The Dalles.  That organization is looking for a location to build new rodeo facilities.  The Fort Dalles Days committee said once the rodeo resumes, there will be a call for people to meet and plan a new Fort Dalles Days event.  The Dalles Main Street is evaluating its major events during 2016, with a goal is to make sure these events are helping to accomplish Main Street’s mission of making downtown a vibrant place to live, shop, work and play.  The Main Street Board of Directors also hopes to identify a new promotion committee chair and volunteers to help accomplish event-related goals.
