The Featured Tours:
The first stop on the tour on Saturday afternoon was a visit the Oregon History Center, allowing the attendees a rare viewing of a flag from the 1905 World's Fair (the Lewis & Clark Centennial Exhibition held in Portland) and a number of early U.S. Stars and Stripes brought out of storage especially for the visitors. The second stop was at the Clark County Historical Society in Clark County, Washington, and the site of Fort Vancouver. The highlight of this stop was two rare flags of the Hudson's Bay Company on display. The keynote address was delivered by Chet Orloff, executive director of the Oregon Historical Society, whose Oregon History Center staff had hosted the tour earlier in the day.
