Rolling on the River Fundraiser at The Ruins in Hood River
We are thrilled to welcome Archer Mayo, recently named Royal Rosarian Newsmaker of the Year, as both featured speaker and Master of Ceremonies. Archer will share the remarkable story of discovering the Martin family car in the lock at Cascade Locks—an unexpected breakthrough that helped unravel the long-standing mystery surrounding the Martin family’s disappearance in 1958. Through this journey, Archer reflects on what the search revealed about persistence, community memory, and the vital role local history museums play in preserving and illuminating the stories that shape our region. His talk promises to be both gripping and deeply meaningful, connecting past and present through the power of local history.
Tickets will be sold for raffle prizes, including a one-night stay + $150 for food/ beverages at the fabulous new Lightwell Hotel and annual memberships at the Columbia Gorge Museum in Stevenson. Delicious desserts and savory snacks by Boda’s Kitchen + drinks from The Ruins bar. Music will be provided by Madison Helton Brown and Chari Harrington, performing on viola and violin.
Buy your tickets ahead and save: $40 in advance, $45 at the door..
