The Oregon Outback Dark Sky Network earns the Governor's Award at the Travel & Tourism Governor's Conference. Here's the full video. The Governor’s Award represents the culmination of our industry’s deep appreciation for the long-time service and accomplishments of an individual or individuals who have enhanced the Oregon visitor experience and elevated the travel and tourism industry. Governor Kotek was in attendance to address the industry and honor the Oregon Outback Dark Sky Network (ODSN) with the 2023 Governor’s Award for their collective work to designate 2.5 million acres of the Oregon Outback as the world’s largest Dark Sky Sanctuary by DarkSky International. A volunteer grassroots initiative comprised of community members, businesses, local governments, ranchers, state and federal agencies, tribes and Oregon Outback night sky enthusiasts, the Oregon Outback Dark Sky Network came together in support of shared principles resulting in mutual community benefits and the long-term conservation of Oregon's starry night heritage. The designation—announced this week—acknowledges the area’s impressively dark starry nights along with its pristine scenery, rich geological and cultural heritage, diverse recreational opportunities and abundance of public land. “Dark Sky tourism is a meaningful and sustainable way to experience a destination while providing positive environmental, cultural and economic benefits to local communities,” said Governor Kotek, who visited the proposed Sanctuary in October, as a part of her commitment to visit all 36 counties in Oregon during her first year in office. “The commitment of the Oregon Outback Dark Sky Network to the protection and stewardship of our starry night skies—and today’s designation of a portion of the Oregon Outback as the world’s largest Dark Sky Sanctuary—is truly inspiring.” @followers Lake County Chamber of Commerce

Winter vacation planning should always include the Kite Festival Lake of the Woods Resort Enjoy a weekend of winter sports, hot cocoa by the fire pits, and as long as there is wind beautiful kites flying. Mark your calendars for the dates, Saturday & Sunday, February 11th and 12th. Lake of the woods is the perfect place to enjoy snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and if it has been cold enough to freeze the lake, ice skating and ice fishing! Make sure to check weather conditions before heading out, wind is definitely needed to fly the kites so please plan for other activities if nature decides not to cooperate.
