The Sunday Telegraph - the sister publication to Great Britain's Daily Telegraph - featured Oregon in Ron Cowan's article entitled Oregon: the best of America.

The 3-page article highlights the Long Hollow Ranch just outside of Sisters as well as a range of other destinations, including: Portland, Baker City, Hells Canyon, Joseph, Enterprise, Pendleton, and Florence.

Cowan, who was in Oregon for two weeks and trekked more that 1,300 miles, had this to say about the trip:

"And although we had only once, briefly, crossed out of the state, we felt as though we had had a tour of the entire U.S. If you want to see all of America, look no further than Oregon."

The January issue of Courier Magazine - the official licensed publication of the National Tour Association - showcased the Oregon Bounty promotion.

Oregon was also represented in Canadian Traveller magazine, which highlighted the Newport Seafood & Wine Festival as attracting visitors from around the world since 1978. The event takes place Feb. 22-24 - click here for more information.
