"Founded in 1935 by Angus L. Bowmer, the Tony Award-winning Oregon Shakespeare Festival is among the oldest and largest professional non-profit theatres in the nation." Both of us have enjoyed, both separately and together, the world-class theatre at Ashland. More than a show, we believe that stories show our "collective humanity" and provides both mirror for introspection and window to see another perspective. We highly recommend seeing a play while you are in town. The 2024 line-up is currently posted on their website.
We hear Rogue Valley has become home to a group of world-class growers. Specifically over the last decade, Rogue Valley vintners have grown a strong reputation for artisan wine production. For those who have rented a car and want to explore the scenic valley, wine tasting may be the thing!
"In the hub of downtown sits Lithia Park, Ashland's crown jewel. A 100-acre vista of emerald lawns, pickleball courts, a sand-pit volleyball court while at the south end of the park there are picnic areas, colorful landscaping and a playground." After our meet and greet lunch, Eric will lead a short hike here on one of their easy-to-walk and beautiful trails for all who are interested!
