Summer Events in Clackamas

It is easy to forget now, how effervescent and free we all felt that summer. Everything fades: the shimmer of gold over White Cove; the laughter in the night air; the lavender early morning light on the faces of skyscrapers, which had suddenly become so heroically tall. Every dawn seemed to promise fresh miracles, among other joys that are in short supply these days.”
―Anna Godbersen, Bright Young Things

Even if you have a full time job and it doesn’t necessarily feel like summer to you, there are quite a few events going on around your apartments in Clackamas that are worth checking it.

“Finally, I wish to remember the millions of Allied servicemen and prisoners of war who lived the story of the Second World War.
