Event
Oregon Trail Live! 1 p.m. Sept. 29
UPDATE: All of our team slots have sold out! If you wish to get on the waiting list, email oregontrailgamelive@gmail.com; we have had a few cancellations.
But we still want you to join us admission to the event and the hoe-down afterparty (read: beer drinking and live music) is just $5 in advance, or you can spectate for free.
Teams of four will face challenges like hunting, grave digging, caulking and floating their wagons (actually cleverly decorated take-out containers) and carrying 200 pounds of meat. The day will end with a hoe-down afterparty.
For those who wish to break a sweat, Courthouse Athletic Club will offer the Grueling Pace Challenge, with period-somewhat-accurate tasks like carrying wood and doing old-timey calisthenics.
Willamette Heritage Center at the Mill, in conjunction with the Statesman Journal, Culture Shock Community Project, Willamette University, the Cherry City Derby Girls, Courthouse Athletics, Salem Summit Co. and more have teamed up for the day. This event is also sponsored, in part, by a City of Salem TOT Grant and is part of the WHC's Family Fun Festivals.
Registration begins at noon and challenges start at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29 at WHC, 1313 Mill St. SE in Salem, Oregon. Team of four (or two adults and up to three children) cost $20 for the early-bird registration period (Aug. 6 to 27); $30 for regular registration (Aug. 28 to Sept. 22) and $50 day-of, if slots are available. There is an additional $10 cost to participate in the Grueling Pace Challenge. Spectators are free.
Admission into the post-Trail hoe-down is free for trail participants, and otherwise costs $5 advance or $7 at the door. Tickets and registration are available through Brown Paper Tickets.
