day trips from portland- scandinavian festival

Junction City's annual Scandinavian Festival runs through this weekend. For almost 50 years, the festival has been celebrating the area's Scandinavian heritage with crafts, food (don't forget the lefse!) and the Scandia Run, a 10K flat course (walkers can choose to take the 4.4 mile Scandia Stride). The cultural festival also features folk dancers, storytellers and plenty of people in traditional dress. A beer garden and wine terrace rounds things off perfectly. It's great fun and at just under 100 miles, an easy day trip from Portland. Uff-dah!
