Welcome to

Fun Facts about Portland
Portland has the smallest city park, Mill End Park, inside the
city limits of any city in this country. It is 2.5 feet in diameter.
It is illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon.
The city was almost named Boston, but after a coin
toss between Francis Pettygrove, a man from Portland,
Maine and Asa Lovejoy, from Boston, Massachusetts,
the city was named Portland.

WHAT TO BRING & WHAT TO WEAR
When packing, keep in mind the temperatures in Portland
can be a little cool in May. The temperature ranges in the
mid to high 40s at night, and mid to high 60s during the day.
Drizzling rain is common so be sure to pack a rain jacket.
Portland is a city that begs to be explored, and this
year’s agenda offers extra time for activities and scheduled
tours. It features some exciting events to help us see the
sights and enjoy the Pacific Northwest.
WEDNESDAY is packed with an array of activities –
from tours to our opening social. Sightseers will enjoy
Portland’s intimate city, spectacular views, and breathtaking scenery. Attire should be comfortable with a light
jacket and shoes appropriate for your outdoor adventures.
Dress as a Portlander Wednesday evening, as you party
with your DU family to kick off convention. Portland is
dubbed the “microbrew capital of the world,” so bring your
appetite as we indulge in the tastes of Portland with its
tavern food and microbrews. Save room for dessert as it is
a Portland must have.
THURSDAY evening will have you in stitches. Before
the entertainment begins, we’ll have drinks and dinner at
the Hilton Portland. Dress is casual and comfortable.
FRIDAY begins with the Duck Hunters’ Breakfast, followed by an all-day business meeting including lunch and
afternoon session. Join us for cocktail hour prior to heading out on the town for dinner with your friends. Dress for
the day is business casual.
To allow time to experience the great northwest, we’ve
adjusted the agenda for Saturday. The morning and afternoon are open for leisure activities or scheduled tours. The
reception and gala are still SATURDAY evening as the featured event for the 76th Annual Convention. Ladies, feel
free to dress to impress or wear your Sunday best. Gentlemen, a suit or sport coat and tie are appropriate.
The complete convention program with more details is
included later in this booklet.

“Where to Dine” section (page 21), which highlights the
most popular restaurants in the area.
SATURDAY, MAY 25 New Schedule Format
To help you enjoy all that the Pacific Northwest has to
offer, we’ve built in some free time in the schedule. Enjoy

week winds down, the evening festivities culminate with
the 76th Gala Reception from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the
Pavilion Lobby followed by the 76th Annual Convention
Gala in the Grand Ballroom. This fabulous evening features excellent food and a spirited live auction conducted

to kick up your heels and dance the night away with 5
Guys Named Moe (in the Pavilion, second level) immediately following the conclusion of the auction.
Ducks Unlimited’s 76th Annual Convention will be
a memorable week, and a full schedule of important

City & Garden Tour
1:00 pm – 5:00 pm (Thursday)
9:00 am – 1:00 pm (Saturday)
Portland is an
intimate city with elegant parks, bridges,
intriguing architecture, beautiful gardens, and fantastic
views. But most of
all, it is a city full
of activities and an
outdoor playground
that beckons all
who visit to explore!
Your tour guide
will share Portland’s
history and points of
interest as you travel
between the city’s most beloved gardens. The world-class
Lan Su Chinese Garden is one of Portland’s most beautiful
and tranquil attractions. The 40,000-square-foot walled
garden, located in the heart of downtown, is the largest Suzhou-style garden outside of China. Wander along
its secluded walkways and explore the elegant pavilions,
ponds, and arched bridges.
Five gardens comprise the 5.5-acre Japanese Garden,
which emphasizes the essence of nature through plants,
stone, and water. Lose yourself in the tranquility and
beauty of these five gardens–Strolling Pond, Tea, Sand and
Stone, and the Natural and Flat Gardens.
Near the Japanese Garden is the International Rose
Test Garden, where you can make a brief stop to see the
first buds of spring that have just begun to appear. Established in 1917, this is the oldest public rose test garden in
the United States; when in bloom, it boasts over 10,000
roses and 600 varieties.

Gorge Tour
8:00 am – 2:30 pm (Wednesday, Thursday)
Experience the grandeur and history of the Columbia River
Gorge as you travel along a section of the Old Columbia
River Gorge Highway past enchanting waterfalls. Enjoy
scenic Wahkeena Falls, a Yakima Indian word meaning
“most beautiful.” Stop at the spectacular Multnomah Falls,
which is the fourth highest in the United States, plummeting 620 feet. Explore the falls by taking a short walk up
the paved trail to the Simon Benson Bridge or just stand
at the base and revel in its splendor. The tour continues to
Horsetail Falls, which is named for its characteristic form
and plunges 176 feet.
Other stops on this tour include Bonneville Dam and
Fish Hatchery. The Bonneville Dam is the first of eight
federal locks and dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers.
View the fish migration at the hatchery and visit the well
known, 11-foot, 500-pound, 70-year-old white sturgeon
named Herman.
You will enjoy lunch on the banks of the Columbia
River in the town of Hood River, where on a windy day
you will see the colorful sails of windsurfers in this worldrenowned windsurfing capitol.
10
Mt. St. Helens Tour
7:45 am – 4:00 pm (Wednesday, Saturday)
On Sunday, May 18,
1980, Mt. St. Helens
blasted into history and violently
changed the landscape with an earthquake that measured
5.1 on the Richter
scale. See how this massive eruption changed the mountain forever. You will see spectacular and unique views of
the mountain, crater, and lava dome from Mt. St. Helens
Visitor’s Center and Johnston Ridge Observatory. The
eruption of Mt. St. Helens was one of the most dramatic
natural events in the history of the United States.
Discover what Mt. St. Helens looked like before the
blast, what happened during the eruption, and how
wildlife and plant life have re-emerged from the ash. Hear
stories from people who experienced the blast and those
forever caught in its wake—like Harry Truman who lived
at the foot of the mountain on the shores of Spirit Lake
and belligerently vowed never to leave.
Remnants of the destruction remain three decades later
and are a stark contrast to the natural beauty that has
emerged. A box lunch will be provided.

Spring Chinook Salmon Fishing
6:00 am – Noon (Saturday)
Enjoy a one-of-a-kind fishing trip for “springers,” which
are a special spring run of Chinook Salmon. You’ll be
fishing in the Willamette River, which runs through
downtown Portland—just six short blocks from our host
hotel. The trip includes bait, tackle, salmon tag, license,
and guide service. Each boat holds 4 to 6 people.
For those lucky enough to catch these premium salmon,
meat packing is available.

Wine Tour
10:00 am – 4:00 pm (Wednesday, Thursday)
Travel by motor
coach through
rolling hillsides,
picturesque
vineyards, and
manicured
orchards in
one of the most
scenic areas in
the region, Yamhill County. Sample wines from three
unique wineries – Duck Pond, Vista Hills, and Erath. Get
a behind-the-scenes guided tour and learn more about the
winemaking process. Like the great wine regions of France
and Germany, Oregon’s wine country is blessed with a
long, moderate growing season, which has proven ideal
for such grapes as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and White
Rieslings. Yamhill County’s winemakers consistently
produce wines that receive the highest honors in many
American and international wine competitions. This tour
is complete with a specially prepared vintner’s lunch in a
vineyard setting.

Day trips to the beach
Astoria
Astoria is situated near the mouth of the Columbia River,
and was the first settlement west of the Mississippi River
and the end of Lewis and Clark’s expedition. The city was
named after the American investor John Jacob Astor. His
American Fur Company founded Fort Astoria at the site in
1811. A number of movies were filmed in Astoria, including The Goonies, Kindergarten Cop, Free Willy 2, and The
Ring 2. Astoria also houses the Columbia River Maritime
Museum, a remarkable museum that preserves the rich
maritime heritage of the entire Columbia River region.
Cannon Beach
Cannon Beach is a popular vacation resort that extends
for four miles along the Pacific Ocean. The city was named
after a small, iron cannon that came ashore from a shipwrecked U.S. Navy schooner. Enjoy great boutiques and
breathtaking views that encompass the Pacific Ocean and
Haystack Rock, which rises 235 feet above miles of soft,
sandy beach.

Whitetail
Whiskey and
Bird Dog
Blackberry
Whiskey are
pleased to offer
a guided trophy
elk hunt for
two people on
a 50,000-acre private ranch in northeast New Mexico. This
five-day package includes all meals and beverages, two bull
elk tags, guide service, transportation while hunting, and
field dressing and preliminary preparation of the harvest. This magnificent property, located in the Vermejo River
Valley, boasts a large population of migratory elk. In an effort to create a sustainable trophy bull hunting operation,
the ranch only harvests 10 percent of its allotted 90 bull
tags each year. This opportunity is an example of trophy
big game hunting at its finest.
The hunts will be conducted in a spot-and-stalk manner with one guide for every two individuals. You will be
driven to the various hunting areas in 4x4 pickups and
ATVs and then continue on foot, while accompanied by
one of the ranch’s experienced guides. Hunters will be
given the opportunity to shoot the bull of their choice.

Original Art by Angus Shortt
This original oil
painting depicts a
beautiful scene of
blue-winged teal.
Angus Shortt was a
well-known Winnipeg artist and painter
of wildlife art. He
was born in 1908 in
Belfast, Ireland, and his family immigrated to Manitoba
when he was a young child. Shortt was able to combine his
passions as an ornithologist and artist by working as an
illustrator and wildlife artist from 1939 to 1973 for Ducks
Unlimited Canada at Oak Hammock Marsh. He specialized in painting ducks and geese and donated his artwork
to many DU events. Image size is 22"x30".
