Canadian Party
Leslie Russell
On Sunday, March 12, 114 Canadian PebbleCreek residents gathered together for their annual party under an Arizona sun, not a Canadian clipper, at the home of Jack and KT Tanner.
Attendees talked, drank, talked, ate, talked and met fellow ‘Creeker Canadians.
Next year is in the planning stages for Sunday, March 8, 2020. Stay tuned.
Thank you to everyone who planned and helped!

Oregon-Idaho state picnic
Over 100 Oregonians and Idahoans gathered in Sunrise Park on Sunday, March 10 to renew acquaintances, rehash old times and meet new neighbors. The weather cooperated perfectly – sunny, no wind and in the upper 60s.
As home ownership in PebbleCreek continues to grow, the opportunity to find more “old” friends continues to grow as well. Neighbors from years ago, former coworkers, even people who are now neighbors both in Arizona and Oregon, found each other. As is tradition, John Flynn and betty Tomtan wrote their annual trivia quizzes for Oregon and Idaho. The questions were challenging. Who knows the name that the Multnomah people originally gave to Mount Hood? Do you know what Idaho’s state fruit is?
This picnic is an event that has existed since shortly after the first Oregonians moved to PebbleCreek in the mid-90s and became more of an event each year. The committee stresses the fact that “No ID is required” and that anyone with ANY connection to either state is most welcome!
Watch the bulletin boards and the Post for date and location of The Oregon-Idaho State Picnic, 2020” coming to a park near you next spring.
