Free Lunch + Play at St. Johns Park

St. Johns Park 8427 N. Central Street, Portland, OR, United States

Portland Parks & Recreation Free Lunch + Play Program  supports families by offering nutritious meals and recreational activities during the summer recess.

Portland Storytellers’ Guild: Story Swap

Online N/A, Portland, OR, United States

You will hear stories from every level of teller; seasoned, first timers, or those in between. Many people come at first just to listen to stories but decide over time to give storytelling a try. Swaps are a safe place for people to take those first steps into the world of storytelling. We like to get in as many tellers as possible. However, we only have so much time. If you want to tell a story, try to arrive early and get your name on the list.
