Do you have dendr
ophobia? Or oenophobia? Phasmophobia? If you do (and even if you don’t), we have a contest that is right up your alley!
We are proud to announce the Conquer Your Fears contest, a two-night getaway to Oregon’s Washington County, where you will participate in activities that may be thrilling to some, chilling to others.
Face that fear of trees (dendrophobia) or heights (acrophobia) at Tree to Tree Adventure Park. Walk on a wire tightrope tens of feet in the air, while navigating obstacles of varying difficulty, moving from tree to tree and zipping back to the ground on a zipline.
Face that fear of trying new things (cenophobia) with a dinner filled with exotic foods at Beaverton’s hottest Korean restaurant, Du Kuh Bee.
Spend two nights at McMenamins Grand Lodge, a “haunted” hotel, to face your fear of ghosts (phasmophobia). And don’t forget to sign the “ghost log” when you check-out.
Conquer you oenophobia (fear of wine) with tastings at select wineries in Oregon’s Washington County wine country in the northern Willamette Valley.
Ready to face and conquer your fears?
Contest ends March 9, 2012. Must be 21 years of age or older to enter. Winner will be announced the week of March 12, 2012.
You can also enter via Twitter or Facebook.

Travel Oregon’s “Oregon Bounty Wanderfeast” runs through November 30th
Each fall, Travel Oregon puts out all of the stops for its “Oregon Bounty” statewide promotion, which highlights unique travel experiences, fall events and the state’s myriad culinary artisans. Last year, the promotion centered on “Cuisinternships,” allowing winners to spend a week shadowing an Oregon culinary expert.
This year, our friends at Travel Oregon have served up their latest creation, the “Oregon Bounty Wanderfeast.”
What on earth is an Oregon Bounty Wanderfeast? It’s a term the folks at Travel Oregon created to describe what it’s like to spend the harvest season following your tastebuds on a quest to procure the best of Oregon’s flavors at their peak. This 10-week promotion features Oregon’s finest epicurean products, from wine and cheese to spirits and nuts, and so many delicacies in between.
You, too, can join in the chase for 10 weeks of foodie bliss. Enter to win your very own Wanderfeast at TravelOregon.com/bounty. You and three friends could be sampling the bounty of Oregon in a four-day/three-night, all-inclusive culinary escape that explores Oregon’s many flavors of fall.
