The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce had representatives this past week at the Pacific Northwest Sportsmen’s Show in Portland.  Chamber CEO Lisa Farquharson says this is the second year they’ve attended the show, adding it fits the profile of The Dalles perfectly, with fishing, hiking, hunting, and other activities in the area.  Farquharson felt they had a good week at the show, making about 2,500 connections with people, which she defines as talking to people rather than simply handing out a brochure.  She says the most common question from people was “where is The Dalles?”
