The Portland Trail Blazers are coming to town.  Pendleton is just one of their many stops for the summer.  Our local youth will benefit from a FREE clinic for boys and girls ages 7 - 14 years on July 14th.  The clinic will be held at Pendleton High School's Warberg Court from 10:00 a.m. - noon.  Past player, Jerome Kersey, will be assisting with the skills training.  Registration is required.  The form can be picked up at the Parks & Recreation office (865 Tutuilla Rd. - next to the cemetery) or downloaded from their website.  You may also register on-site from 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. but we encourage you to avoid the rush and pre-register.
