What do Julie of Healing Treasures Massage LLC, Breazy with Northwest Reverse Mortgage, Jamie with American Family Estate Preservation, Inc. (afepi), and Kelly with Enliven by Vancouver Clinic all have in common? They SHOP LOCAL and had a great time at Speed Networking among the many gingerbread houses. Stop by the Gresham Historic Society & Museum and check out the gingerbread house winners. Better yet, there is still time to build your own house and enter the contest.

Take a Safari to Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge
 
Only the African cheetah can outpace the pronghorn, the second-fastest land animal in the world. Pronghorn spring into motion with easy grace, able to accelerate to speeds of more than 60 miles per hour. And while the cheetah might win a sprint, the pronghorn would dominate in a distance race: With a 30-foot stride and exceptional endurance, they could dust a marathon in 45 minutes.
