Low Carb Comforts

Use engagement stickers (poll, emoji slider, quiz, etc.) to get more story views on Instagram! Use these on the first few stories of the day to encourage viewers to bump you to the front of their story queue.

With Spring and Summer, our shrubs and trees grow a lot! If you have limbs closer than 12” to your outside HVAC unit, trim them back to give a full 12” clearance. The unit will run more efficiently. 

What is an Indexed Fund ?

Indexed funds are passive investments, in the form of mutual funds and ETFs, that hold stocks/bonds and are designed to mimic an index. They  tend to have lower expenses and fees than actively managed funds. They seek to match the risk and return of the index. (CRN-5558605-032423)

How to Experience the Annular Solar Eclipse in Oregon

Book your plans now to experience this special 'Ring of Fire' event on Oct. 14, 2023.

📷: Jen Anderson

If you live in Oregon or visited six years ago, you’ll probably remember where you were during the total solar eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017. Many of us traveled to be in the “path of totality,” grabbed our protective eclipse glasses and brought a picnic to enjoy our viewing as a moment we, and our kids, could look back to as one of those times in the history of the Earth you just don’t forget.

Another astronomical event is on the horizon, this time an “annular solar eclipse” that will also be visible within a certain path that stretches throughout four regions of Oregon: parts of the Coast and the Willamette Valley, a tiny bit of Central Oregon and much of Southern Oregon.
