Portland's 6th Annual
TOUR de COOPS
Saturday, July 25, 2009
11:00am-3:00pm
This is a fun and affordable community event for you, your whole family and all your friends! Chicken owners throughout Portland will open their yards so you can see their coops and meet their chickens. The Tour de Coops is a self-guided tour; you'll have the opportunity to visit up to 25 backyard chicken coops all over East Portland - getting to know your neighbors while learning and sharing urban chicken keeping ideas.
You can also enter the raffle to win one of two coops (made by local coop designers!), chicken feed and/or gift certificates donated by local nurseries and feed stores!
* Save the gas! There will be several coop 'clusters' in close proximity to one another, making it easier to bike or walk the Tour de Coops!
