Portland Corn MAiZE - The Corn MAiZE
The MAiZE "Twists and Turns" into Ten Years in Bridgetown.
What began back in 1999 as a great and "weird" Portland idea has grown into a Portland tradition. The MAiZE, a giant puzzle carved into a towering cornfield, has become a classic fall event for tens of thousands of visitors craving adventure and laughter and to connect with life on a family farm.
Portlander Craig Easterly, creator of the annual giant-sized maze at The Pumpkin Patch, created a design this year that celebrates Portland and its beautiful cityscape and surroundings. The "Bridgetown MAiZE" at The Pumpkin Patch features the city's bridges, rivers, mountains and outdoor spirit. Easterly promises that crossing the newly built Sauvie Island Bridge, and finding The Pumpkin Patch, is the easy part. Finding your way out of the 5-acre labyrinth will be both a physical and mental challenge for kids of all ages to enjoy.

Wolf to Woof: The Story of Dogs - World Forestry Center Discovery Museum
Never before shown in the Pacific Northwest, the exhibit sniffs out the facts on dogs and explores what makes their relationship with humans so unique. The hands-on, interactive components use our familiarity and love of our four-legged friends to explore science and biological concepts. Visitors can enter a “howling” area, guess what other dogs are saying, test their human noses against an extraordinary sense of smell of a dog’s nose, and climb into an avalanche scene to see what it’s like to be saved by a search and rescue dog. Visitors will leave with a better understanding of the evolution of dogs, their cultural and historical importance, as well as what they can do to promote a better understanding and better life for wild and domestic dogs.

Sojourn Theatre Presents; BUILT - Sojourn Theatre
How is community created? Who is served by development? What are the ethics of urban planning in complex, economically stratified cities? What do people want from the place where they live? BUILT explores the vastly complex journeys that have made US cities what they are today: the daily personal, civic and economic choices that determine how contemporary cities function, and how people and institutions imagine the future of cities and communities. Sojourn blends performance and dialogue in this site-responsive participatory performance set in the heart of Portland’s emerging South Waterfront district.
