WE 𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐈𝐓! We're absolutely bursting with pride and gratitude, and it's all thanks to YOU, our incredible community!
We're thrilled to announce that Powerland Heritage Park's The Great Oregon Steam-Up has been crowned "𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭" in the prestigious Best of the Willamette Valley Awards for the fourth year in a row! Can you hear that steam whistle blowing? That's the sound of collective victory! Every memory made, every laugh shared, every awe-struck moment you experienced with us contributed to this amazing achievement.
But the good news doesn't stop there! Powerland Heritage Park also received the Gold Award for "𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫," and we couldn't agree more! To our dedicated volunteers, you are the heart and soul of this park, and this award is a testament to your passion and hard work. Your willingness to lend a hand makes Powerland a truly special place, and we are so proud to share this recognition with you.
And as if that wasn't enough, we snagged a Silver Award for "𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧" This means so much to us because it reflects the joy and wonder we strive to create for families. Every child's wide-eyed gasp at a roaring engine, every family photo by a vintage tractor. Those moments are what we live for, and you helped us earn this honor.
To everyone who voted, shared, visited, volunteered, and celebrated with us, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝! You are the reason Powerland Heritage Park and The Great Oregon Steam-Up continue to thrive and make history come alive. Thank you for being an indispensable part of our story and for helping us achieve these incredible milestones!
Let's keep the legacy rolling! We can't wait to celebrate with you at the next The Great Oregon Steam-Up!
