American Trails & The Best of Oregon

First Friday Art Walk – December 2nd, 5–8 pm




American Trails

With the 2005 season coming to a close American Trails would like to invite you to commemorate 15 years of service on the plaza.

This first Friday we'll have cake and champagne to celebrate this event. Through out the weekend the entire store will be on sale from 10% - 50% off.

Beginning in 1990 owner Dave Bobb opened, at that time "The American Indian Art Gallery" the only Native American shop in Southern Oregon. Over the last 15 years we have focused on displaying the finest jewelry and artwork from a variety artists spanning from the Southwest to the Northwest coast, along with artists from our local area. An ancient collection of historic baskets, beadwork and weavings are represented as well.

The Best of Oregon

The Best of Oregon, formally in the Rogue Valley mall, re-opened its doors in February on East Main Street. After a full remodel of the store, with knotty pine floors and Douglas fir poles the store is ready. We feature Oregon Souvenirs, Pendleton Blankets and Accessories, Gourmet foods, U of O and OSU cheer gear, Oregon Myrtlewood and Wine and Beer.

This first Friday we will be Tasting R- Merlot from the Rouge Valley, Along with Specialty Dressings and Sauces made especially for our store. Along with the tasting, Duck and Beaver Gear will be 25% OFF. We will have Winery’s and gourmet treats for every first Friday, along with featured local artists through out 2006.
