\u201cCool\u201d was the most common comment we heard as the visitors at the 175th Anniversary Celebration of Oregon City, at the end of the Oregon Trail, stepped inside our company\u2019s Conestoga\u00ae Wagon that was on display.
Most often reaching out to the appropriate organization for your market results in some stalwart results. That is just what our Marketing Agency did and as a result, with the invite of the Executive Director of the End of the Trail Interpretive Center, we just couldn\u2019t refuse to help them celebrate. So we transported a Conestoga Wagon from Idaho to Oregon
City on August 24th.
And the visitors were especially pleased to hear that there is high interest by another organization our Marketing Agency connected us with who may purchase and place the wagons throughout Oregon. Everyone thinks our Conestoga\u00ae Wagons are \u201ca natural\u201d
for Oregon. The city\u2019s commissioners were present and they shared the extraordinary enthusiasm of the Executive Director to bring our Conestoga\u00ae Wagons to Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We must give some credit to the educational game, The Oregon Trail, for popularizing the Conestoga\u00ae Wagon, however the Interpretive Center was sure to clarify the use of Conestoga\u00ae Wagons. Because they are very large, over 24 feet long, they did not travel the Oregon Trail, but instead were used as freight haulers with as many as 8 horses needed to pull them. It was the smaller Schooner Wagon that the pioneers used to travel to Oregon.
That lack of Oregon Trail use did not in anyway dampen the enthusiasm for our Wagons. Oregon folks are really looking forward to glamping in the king size bed and the twin bunk beds once they arrive in Oregon. Some families are even considering purchasing them
for their back yards for guest accommodations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
