Now more than ever, we’ve learned how vital human connection and community pride are to our lives. We miss grabbing dinner at local restaurants with friends, attending our kids’ events at school, and floating in the Sandy River on sunny days. While we may all be in our homes, we miss everything about our home that makes it so wonderful – our community.
The City of Troutdale has recently completed a community branding effort and what better way to release the community brand than with the community itself? What makes our city so great is our people and what each of us add to make it unique.
We’re asking for your stories to tell the story of us – the story of Troutdale. What does Troutdale mean to you? What is your favorite memory here? When is a time that you felt especially proud to call this place home? We hope that showcasing these stories on the City’s social media accounts will allow people to rediscover our city and all the amazing things there are to love about it and take pride in.
Stories can be emailed to marlee.boxler [at] troutdaleoregon.gov (subject: My%20Troutdale%20Story) (marlee[dot]boxler[at]troutdaleoregon[dot]gov). And if you don’t fancy yourself a writer, how about sharing a photo from past or present? As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Please include a description (long or short), location, and approximate date with any photo submittals. Featured story tellers will be given an item of Troutdale branded swag to show off to friends and family!
