The Hometown Welcome.

4:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Come by the old homestead where the bride grew up for light appetizers and cocktails. We recommend staying at The Lodge at Hot Lake Springs or the infamous Historic Union Hotel.

The Oregon Trail.

5:00 pm

19th Century Pioneer

Welcome to the Oregon Trail, our themed party for the weekend! We will be playing a life-size version of the classic computer game. Come ready to select your wagon party and advance your way through the bars of Joseph without dying from one of the many hazards along the way. This journey will commence at the Wallowa Lake Lodge, where you can grab dinner at the on-site restaurant or bring food to enjoy on the back lawn. Here we will review the game rules, establish the kinds of people on board, select wagon leaders, and pick your wagon party. The wagons will depart the lodge around 8:30 pm. (pending what your wagon decides to spend their money on....) We'll have onsite local babysitters to tend to awake or sleeping children via individual monitors.
