Champoeg Historical Pageant 
St Paul, Oregon
Adopted in 1987.
The Champoeg amphitheater, constructed in 1993, was built for the purpose of staging the annual Historical Pageant, tabbed by the 1987 state legislature as the "Official Pageant of Oregon Statehood", and sponsored by the Friends of Historic Champoeg. Because of a three-year gap between pageants the facility was leased to a local promoter to stage a variety of musical groups, one of which is pictured here. Although the Pageant will not be held in 1998 as previously planned, anyone who has an interest in the next pageant can get additional information by writing to the
