Welcome to KGW's newest blog, all about Stretching Your Dollar.

This is where we'll share our latest reporting on what you can do to make your money last during the current economic downturn. It's also a place where you can comment on the ideas you see here...and also post your own Dollar-Stretching Strategies.

A couple of trends we've reported on recently include folks selling their books for quick cash. Powell's has seen a big uptick in business.

We also looked into what consumers can do to turn Gift Cards into instant cash.

As far as stretching your dollar for entertainment, I know of no better value than a day of family activities for free. On June 7th, Imperial River Company will be hosting their annual Opening Day on the Deschutes River Party. We'll provide free professionally guided white water rafting trips, live music, chainsaw ice sculpture demonstrations, clay molding demonstrations with clay for the kids to use, a Shelby car show, river parades, a kids carnival, live music, and much much more. The best thing is, it's all free!!!! If you have any questions regarding this event, email me at topher@deschutesriver.com or visit our website at www.deschutesriver.com.
