The City of Oregon City’s Tourism Program has developed an interactive initiative called the Community Showcase, which allows residents to explore historic attractions virtually, and incentivizes them to participate in a quiz which enters them into a drawing for $40 gift certificates redeemable at local restaurants.
Residents can visit https://traveloregoncity.com/showcase/ where a video tour of a local historic site will be hosted along with a short quiz (approximately 3-4 questions) about the content of the video. Each month a new point of interest will be highlighted such as the Oregon City Municipal Elevator, Ermatinger House, McLoughlin House, and more. Upon answering all the quiz questions correctly, participants will be entered into a drawing for a gift certificate to ten, monthly rotating, Oregon City restaurants.
The goals of the initiative are twofold:
“It is our hope that this program helps our residents become reacquainted with the historic sites of Oregon City, while also developing true champions for tourism, leading Oregon City to be known for its friendly and welcoming community,” says Oregon City Economic Development Manager, James Graham.
The 10-month program begins August 2020. All virtual tours, quizzes, and program details can be found on TravelOregonCity.com
