ON THE COVER
Everything for the Pacific Northwest fly fishing enthusiast — except
for the fish themselves — can be found at Kaufmann Streamborn
in Tigard. What began in 1969 as Lance and Randall Kaufmann’s
garage-based, fly-tying operation has grown into a comprehensive
enterprise, comprising brick-and-mortar stores in Oregon and
Washington, an online store, fly-tying and casting classes, and onthe-water fly fishing classes.
To go fishing is part of the job description for Kaufmann’s staff, who
are all passionate in the pursuit of presenting the right fly to the right
fish in the right spot. They are well-versed in all aspects of the sport,
and you are assured of highly qualified advice when you stop by a
Kaufmann store, email them, or pick up the phone to call them.
For the most adventurous fly anglers, Kaufmann Streamborn offers
fly fishing vacations that range from the Northwest’s best to far-off
locales such as Russia, Mongolia, England, New Zealand, South
America, and tropical destinations including Mexico, Seychelles, Bikini
Atoll, and Christmas Island.

Having fun in Oregon
Oregon and recreation. The two words have been synonymous for generations. If it’s fun, it can be done
somewhere within our borders.
You might even say it’s part of our state’s brand. For Wisconsin, it’s cheese. For Kansas, it’s wheat. For Vermont,
it’s maple syrup (or maybe it’s Ben & Jerry’s). For Oregon, it’s recreation. Lewis and Clark liked our recreation
opportunities so much they spent their entire time here hiking, hunting, fishing, canoeing, and camping!
Our image as the premier place for recreation is a good thing for several reasons: companies often consider
quality-of-life features, such as access to recreation, when they look for new locations, and workers who value
that type of balance between their work and personal lives seek out places like Oregon.
With so many small businesses as customers, it’s no surprise that SAIF provides insurance coverage and safety
consulting to many companies in the recreation industry. The 13 featured in this calendar represent all their
industry partners from across Oregon.
They also represent the true Oregon spirit — the spirit of working hard and being successful (and safe), and
having fun doing it.

You may never drive a dog sled in Alaska’s famous Iditarod race, but
Oregon Trail of Dreams, a training camp for professional sled dogs,
can give you a hint of what it’s like. You take your place in the sled
with anticipation. The dogs are animated, barking and jumping with
excitement, but as the mushers begin to check the equipment and
harnesses, the dogs become intense and silent. Once everything is
ready, snow flies as the sled takes off down the trail ahead. While
these dogs prepare to run in various races around the Northwest,
including the Iditarod, they take children and adults for rides that
include scenic views of Broken Top, the Three Sisters, and Mount
Bachelor. Oregon Trail of Dreams is owned and operated by Jerry
Scdoris and his daughter, Rachael, who realized her life-long Iditarod
dream in 2006, when she became the first legally blind athlete to
finish the race.

Making science fun, exciting, and tangible — in Oregon and beyond —
is what the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) is all
about. OMSI accomplishes this by hosting world-renowned traveling
exhibits and creating many of its own interactive displays that
also travel the world. OMSI visitors enjoy numerous permanent
installations on subjects ranging from chemistry, physics, technology,
and lasers, to life and earth sciences.
Docked at OMSI’s riverfront is the USS Blueback, the U.S. Navy’s last
non-nuclear, fast-attack submarine, which is available for underwater
sleep-overs. Music lovers and stargazers flock to OMSI’s Kendall
Planetarium, which offers not only computer-aided astronomy shows but
also music-themed laser shows. Visitors wanting even more of an eyeful
will enjoy the OMNIMAX IMAX Theater with a staggering 6,532 squarefoot projection area and 15,000-watt custom Surround Sound system.

The largest sea cave in the world, as documented by the Guinness
Book of World Records, is located on the coast near Florence. Spanning
more than two acres of floor space and rising up to 125 feet in height,
the enormous basalt cavern extends about the distance of one football
field into the earth. The cave and its rocky shoreline provide habitat
for a large population of up to 500 Steller sea lions, as well as some
California sea lions and numerous bird species.
Established in 1932, before Highway 101 was paved, Sea Lion Caves
is a four-generation family business that has always put preservation
before progress. Although a modern elevator provides access for more
than 140,000 visitors who enjoy the cave each year, guests keep a safe
distance from the sea lions, which shelter inside the cave during the
colder months and inhabit the shoreline when it’s warmer.
Sea Lion Caves | Florence
www.sealioncaves.com
Steller sea lions perch precariously
on the cliffs outside Sea Lion Caves.
Breeding males stay out of the water and
fast from mid-May until August, guarding
their territory against competitors.

Wafting along 19,300 feet, or almost four miles, of cable, the
Wallowa Tram runs to the top of Mount Howard between June and
September. The journey lasts 15 minutes, allowing you enough
time to enjoy spectacular views of the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area,
but also giving you plenty of time to enjoy your day at the top of the
mountain. At the summit you can take a hike, have a picnic, have a
party, get married, fly a model glider, or even watch paragliders as
they soar by. If all this activity makes you hungry, you can always
stop for a bite at the Summit Grill and Alpine Patio, the highest
restaurant in the Northwest, at 8,150 feet.
Built in Switzerland, the four-person gondolas first began operation
in 1970 and have received numerous state-of-the-art safety upgrades
over the years.

If you miss those old-fashioned summer nights with music, hotdogs,
kids, and baseball, you can find them in Keizer at the Volcanoes Stadium.
Concerts often open or close a game, and you can expect fireworks
on Friday nights and on the Fourth of July. For the past 11 years, the
stadium has been the home of the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, a Class A
minor league team in the Northwest League and farm team of the San
Francisco Giants.
The Volcanoes have won six Western Division titles and four Northwest
League championships, and the Giants have called them a team that
develops champions. This may be why more than 3,000 cheering fans fill
the seats at 38 home games each season. During off months the stadium
plays host to dozens of community events. For example, the Volcanoes
Stadium hosts the Blanchet High School baseball team from March to
June, as well as the state high school baseball championships.

Nine thousand things to experience, 11 days, one event — “Something
for everyone” takes on a whole new meaning each August at the Oregon
State Fair. Whether you love adventure, education, the arts, fine wine, or
even prize-winning swine, you’ll find it at the fair.
Changing along with the state it serves, the Oregon State Fair
introduced bicycle races in 1895, electricity in 1900, and an auto and
tractor show in 1918. The sixties brought John F. Kennedy and
the Titan missile, and the seventies saw the first female fair
director (Lillie Ward). The fair grew exponentially in the 1980s,
received a face-lift and a chair-lift in the nineties, and has become
a leader in environmental responsibility in this decade. Today
the Oregon State Fair is operated by the Oregon State Parks and
Recreation Department.

remains true to its agricultural roots.

A whitewashed barn with a sawdust floor, a tarpaulin stage, a chicken
coop dressing room, and chairs on loan from the mortuary — that was
Pentacle Theatre in 1954.
Today’s award-winning Pentacle Theatre, a few miles from the original
site in a modern, renovated building, brings a passion for live performance
to eight plays per year, which include musicals, comedies, and drama.
The support of the community provides the purpose and creative
energy it takes for Pentacle Theatre to thrive. In 2007 Pentacle
completed a five-year, $1 million capital campaign to bring muchneeded repair and remodeling to the theater. Besides its main
production schedule, Pentacle Theatre makes its cast, crew, and
building available for special events such as community service
nights, student nights, and benefit performances.

For thousands of children in the Willamette Valley, Halloween and
the fall harvest season are chances to return to Bauman Farms in
Gervais, with its acres of pumpkins, rows of Indian corn, apple trees,
and more fun than a whole family can have in a day. There are hay
carts to ride, farm animals to pet, apples to fire (with the apple cannon
and apple slingshot), and a giant corn maze to hide in, as well as ziplines, slides, and tunnels through mountains of hay bales.
The fun at Bauman Farms doesn’t end there. The farm also offers
educational tours, demonstrations, cooking classes, and artist
events. Besides pumpkins and corn, this full-production farm
features a nursery and a retail store where you can order pies for
Thanksgiving and flowers for the table, as well as gift baskets full
of products such as preserves, dried fruit, gourmet sauces, salad
dressings, and cookbooks.

October
National Fire Prevention Month
Turn off the white light, turn on the black light, add some glow-in-thedark, and what do you have? It’s called Cosmic Bowling at Elkhorn
Lanes, one of the best ways to spend a Saturday night in Baker City.
At Cosmic Bowling, ordinary bowling takes on a whole new light as
bowling balls, bowling pins, and even some of the bowlers themselves
glow in the mysterious purple light.
Cosmic Bowling came to Elkhorn Lanes in 2006, but Baker City
bowlers have been hitting strikes and spares at Elkhorn since 1958.
After the original building was leveled by a fire, the current 14-lane
facility was rebuilt in 1960, and today it includes all the amenities
you’d expect from a great bowling alley: state-of-the-art electronic
scoring, a snack bar, and a pro shop to supply all your bowling needs.

at Elkhorn Lanes on Cosmic Bowling
nights. (Left) Even the bowling shoes
take on a luminous glow.

Clear Lake Resort, not far from the picturesque town of Sisters, is
where Oregonians go when they want peace and quiet with just enough
recreational options to keep things interesting. One thing that makes it so
quiet is that no motorized boats are allowed on Clear Lake itself.
Winter visitors enjoy the resort’s serene beauty, while nearby Hoodoo
beckons with world-class skiing, snowboarding, and tubing. In warmer
months, nature lovers count birds, and anglers seek cutthroat trout at
the shores of the crystal-clear lake or from rental rowboats.
Operated by Linn County, Clear Lake Resort offers both rustic and
modern cabins for up to eight people, as well as a restaurant, lodge,
and five campsites. Cabins and boat rentals are available all year and
the restaurant and lodge are open May through September. Clear Lake Resort | Clear Lake

(Top) Clear Lake Resort’s cabins are
open all year, weather permitting, and its
five small campsites are available May
through September.
