Volksfest 2025

​​

Thank you to everyone who helped make Volksfest such a success! We could not do this event without our amazing entertainers, supportive sponsors, and the volunteers who give so generously of their time. Thank you all for coming out and enjoying a fun weekend with us. Proceeds will help pay for the 4th of July parade and fireworks, high school scholarships, downtown holiday decor and fountain, and flower baskets.

​

We hope to see you all again next year for Volksfest - January 30 - February 1, 2026!​

2024 Annual Report

Just a few notes on what we accomplished this past year.

​

January, we had our election of officers and board members.

​

February, we had Volksfest that was a very successful and fun festival.

​

With late spring and early summer, our patriotic flower baskets went up. The fountain was well maintained and the kiosk had some repairs and updated welcome sign thanks to some high school students and volunteers. The Junior First and Maureen Ernst memorial scholarships were awarded to two students with impressive resumes.

Fourth of July events were the best ever! There were so many parade entries and so many spectators. The fireworks display did not disappoint!

Late summer we met for some goal setting, formed three committees that have met and discussed changes to come, all with keeping the community of Mt. Angel as our focus.

​

Early fall, we welcomed a new board member, Cyndi Field Durkee. We are happy she is willing to help our future projects.

​

I also want to thank all of our sponsors - those who sponsor flower baskets, fireworks, scholarship funds, and our festivals. We couldn't do as much as we do without their generosity.

​

I personally want to thank all officers and board members for being a part of the chamber. It takes all of us to work together to do what we do. Thank you for all your time you give.

​

With that, have a Blessed Christmas season and Joyous New Year!
