A Trek Through McMinnville and Dayton With Travel Oregon’s International Department
Good food, great camaraderie, and fly fishing…can you think of a better way to spend part of the day? Recently, five of my colleagues and I had the opportunity to experience all of that.
We started our afternoon with lunch at the Paragon Room at McMenamins Hotel Oregon. Hotel Oregon is a fabulous, historic four-story brick building built in 1905, located in the heart of Oregon’s wine country in downtown McMinnville. The Paragon Room features two large superbly handcrafted pool tables and saucer-shaped light fixtures complete with blinking lights above each table. The fixtures are incorporated within the décor to honor the annual UFO Festival that takes place every May. The UFO Festival began as a tribute to the famous 1950 Trent sighting in which two locals photographed a UFO in McMinnville.
