Serving as a service station canopy in Milwaukie, Oregon for over 67 years, the WWII B-17G Flying Fortress now known as the “Lacey Lady” is undergoing complete restoration to airworthy condition at the Salem, Oregon airport (KSLE).  Opened in January 2015, Hangar “C” at historic McNary Field houses the B-17 Alliance Foundation museum and restoration facility where you can watch our volunteers work towards restoring our iconic aircraft piece by piece. Established in 2006, the B-17 Alliance Foundation was created to restore the famous “Milwaukie Gas Station Bomber” and return the B-17G Flying Fortress to its original flying glory.  The alliance mission quickly expanded to a three-part vision to Preserve, Educate and Inspire our community. This B-17G Flying Fortress will fly again to Honor the American Spirit of a Great Generation. The B-17G Flying Fortress, Lacey Lady, was flown to Oregon in 1947 on a $5.00 bet by Art Lacey. Lacey flew the B-17G Flying Fortress from Altus, Oklahoma to Troutdale, Oregon to become the legendary “Milwaukie Gas Station Bomber” along the super highway in Milwaukie, Oregon. The Lacey Lady is the most intact wartime B-17 Flying Fortress in the world under restoration today and holds the lowest amount of engine hours of any B-17 still in existence.  The foundation really is an “Alliance,” working across the nation in collaboration with many partners to bring WWII aircraft back to the skies.  Fewer than 50 B-17 Flying Fortresses survive in the entire world today; all in different stages of repair, as war inventory was parted out and melted down decades ago. The Lacey Lady is one of the last fully intact bombers that can be restored. Others exist; however, they require using parts from multiple B-17 Flying Fortresses to build one complete bomber. This “Incredible Journey” of the Lacey Lady is part of the B-17 Alliance Museum exhibits.  Once a famous landmark, it became evident that this aircraft had a higher calling. The calling prompted “The Bomber family,” to preserve this rare piece of American history to educate all generations. The B-17G Flying Fortress known as the Lacey Lady, is now the future centerpiece of a growing destination point and WWII educational center located at McNary Field in Salem, Oregon.   Step back in history with our museum displays that capture the stories of our nation’s veterans, artifacts, uniforms, letters, equipment, and photographs of the men and women who have served our country during a watershed period in our nation’s history.

Overview A most heart-stirring concert awaits you, portraying vastly different approaches to grief and memory. In the “Eroica,” grief turns into fury, when the original dedicatee, Napoleon, crowns himself emperor and the enraged Beethoven now celebrates only “the memory of a great man.” From two bolts-out-of-the-blue chords to exhilarating finale, the Symphony’s majesty and drama, extraordinary scope, and bold harmonies all proclaim a new era in music. Turning his grief into sorrow, Berg inscribes his heartbreaking Concerto, sensitively performed by our concertmaster, “To the memory of an angel”—a vivacious 18-year-old girl struck down by polio. He paints her portrait in the first movement, and, in the emotional heart of the Concerto, incorporates Bach’s chorale, “It is enough; Lord, if it pleases you/Unshackle me.”  About the Show MARKUS STENZ CONDUCTOR SARAH KWAK JANET & RICHARD GEARY CONCERTMASTER CHAIR D’UN SOIR TRISTE (OF A SAD EVENING) L.

HI, MY NAME IS STEPHEN CUSTER I started Dry Humor Marketing because I believe marketing is seriously fun. I take strategy and data seriously so my clients aren’t just throwing things against the wall to see what sticks. I also help my clients craft authentic stories that inspire people to act.  But most of all, I make marketing fun by injecting a little levity, because we all need a good laugh every day. My company is called Dry Humor Marketing because I’ve been told I have a dry sense of humor. I take that to mean that I think I’m smarter than the next guy and also my jokes aren’t funny. Either way, I know that the best marketing messages stick because they move people emotionally and/or they brighten someone’s day with some humor. I help my clients find the right style of humor that gets their message remembered by their customers. Humor is no replacement for authenticity, though. I don’t craft messages to be funny for funny…ness sake. My clients are passionate about their products and services, so I help them tell their story in a way that shows the true impact of their business. Everyone loves a good story. However, humor AND authenticity don’t get you very far without serious strategy. I educate my clients on the latest trends and tools in the marketing world to get real results. I follow the data to fashion the message, and then I use new data from each campaign to refine and innovate that message.   Friday Morning = Greeters! Start your Friday off right with the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce’s biggest weekly networking event! Greeters brings together 150+ local business professionals every week to connect, share, and grow together.

Join us for the 2026 SAIF Agri-Business Banquet! This is our annual time to celebrate and honor the often unsung backbone of our region's economy, the agricultural sector. This event welcomes the ag community and its partners for a night of entertainment, education, and powerful connections. Keynote Speaker: Oregon State Representative Shelly Boshart Davis (HD15) Shelly Boshart Davis, State Representative for District 15 (Albany, Tangent, Millersburg) Mom, businesswoman, farmer, politician, activist Shelly Boshart Davis is dedicated to strengthening Oregon’s agriculture, transportation, and rural communities. She runs her family’s trucking and custom farming operation, helping move Oregon-grown products around the world while advocating for the people who make that possible. In the legislature, she brings real-world experience to policy — fighting for working families, small businesses, and common-sense solutions that keep Oregon moving forward. Since 2018, Shelly grew up on her family farm and started driving tractors as soon as her feet could reach the clutch. Now co-owner of Boshart Trucking, she specializes in agricultural drayage and international shipping. Shelly’s hands-on experience in agriculture and transportation drives her advocacy for rural communities and economic development, promoting policies that connect Oregon producers to global markets. Each year, we also recognize an outstanding Future Farmers of America student for leadership in shaping the future of the industry. This fun night honors a special part of Oregon’s history and culture while looking forward to its future.
