Mt. Angel Chamber of Commerce

Willkommen!

Welcome to Mt. Angel, Oregon. 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 and Monastery. Mt. Angel celebrates its German heritage each year during the Oktoberfest, one of Oregon's largest festivals. More than 300,000 people attend the four-day event, which has been held in Mt. Angel for more than 50 years.

Legion Hall Presents Gus the Gobbler

Gus the Gobbler here.

This story is a hoot! Seventy-five years ago a young couple

entered the Legion Hall for a fun filled evening of Bingo and cards.

The wife was playing Bingo with her eye on a prize of a rabbit

cookie jar. Her husband was downstairs playing cards.

As the evening moved on she was experiencing mild labor pains, she

was pregnant with their first child. She wouldn’t leave without the rabbit!

BINGO, she won the cookie jar and delivered a baby girl later that

night. When the baby was old enough to get around, she broke
that jar! Just think she could have been the first “Mt Angel Turkey

Shoot” baby!
