Welcome to Mt. Angel

Welcome to Mt. Angel, Oregon, a wonderful place to visit! Nestled between farmland and foothills, Mt. Angel is located 18 miles northeast of Salem on Highway 214. This little town, founded in the late 1800s by German settlers, has an Old World flavor which is heightened by the many Bavarian style storefronts and the beautiful Benedictine Abbey. Mt. Angel celebrates their German heritage each year during the Oktoberfest, one of Oregon's longest festivals. More than 300,000 people attend the four-day festival, which has been held in Mt. Angel for more than 40 years. Oktoberfest starts on the second Thursday after Labor Day and continues through Sunday.

WurstFest is Coming – February 12-14 

Dear Chamber Members:  Many volunteers are needed to put on this event!   Susan Gallagher is coordinating the volunteer schedule.  She can be reached at 503-845-2763 or by cell at 503-312-5425.  The jobs at the Wurstfest are applying wristbands, handing out beer mugs, and opening beer mug boxes.  The box opening is a rather physical job and great for that teenager who needs volunteer hours.   Teenagers can only do the boxing job and I have not scheduled the boxing job for the last shift.  A few shifts are full, but most are not.

The shifts are:
Friday, 5 – 8 pm
8 – 11 pm 

Saturday, 11:30 – 2:30 pm
2:30 – 5:30 pm
5:30 – 8:30 pm
8:30 – 11 pm 

Sunday,11:30 – 2:30 pm
2:30 – 6:00 pm

Cornerstone gift builds momentum for Community Building

February 12-14, 2010, in the Oktoberfest Community Building at 500 S. Wilco Highway, Mount Angel.

The Mount Angel Community Foundation has received a $200,000 donation from the Slayden Community Fund towards the construction of the new Mount Angel Community Building.  In addition, Stayton-based Slayden Construction has agreed to serve as general contractor for the construction project and will waive their contracting fee, representing an additional $50,000 donation to the project’s bottom line.

Dave Kohler, chairman of the Fundraising Committee, said “The Foundation is extremely pleased to have Slayden Community Fund and Slayden Construction as our cornerstone donors for this project. Their generous gift builds on the firm foundation of the $50,000 grant received from Mount Angel’s Oktoberfest, Inc. for the new Community Building.  We are fortunate our benefactors have such a strong commitment to Mount Angel.”

The Mount Angel Community Building project is being developed by the Mount Angel Community Foundation in partnership with Oktoberfest, Inc., the Mount Angel Chamber of Commerce, and the City of Mount Angel. The proposed Community Building will be used for activities and public events by civic, church and nonprofit groups as well as private celebrations, and can serve as the community’s emergency facility.  The new Community Building will replace the existing metal barn structure which was built in the early 1970s.

The Mount Angel Community Foundation recently kicked off their capital campaign for the new Community Building Project with a variety of fundraising efforts, including the sale of engraved brick pavers and a raffle featuring travel voucher prizes.  Pavers and raffle tickets will be sold during the community’s upcoming Wurstfest event to be held February 12-14, 2010, in the Oktoberfest Community Building at 500 S. Wilco Highway, Mount Angel.

The Mount Angel Community Foundation welcomes support for the building project. Contact the Foundation at 503-845-6835, by email at mtangelcommfnd@gmail.com, or visit www.mtangelcommfnd.org.
