I also believe that it is the job of the Deschutes County Commissioners to find the method that will best enable this to happen. I urge you to listen to the economic facts. The outdoor wedding business provides a great deal to the local economy, with very limited impact, as it is mainly on Saturdays for four months of the summer. If the amendment passes as written I understand that the limit would be only 15 weddings per year. If the farms managed do the maximum 1s weddings allowed per season, that is a mere 4% of the days in the year.

The outdoor wedding business provides a great deal to the local economy, with very limited impact, as it is mainly on Saturdays for four months of the summer. If the amendment passes as written I understand that the limit would be only 1S weddings per year. If the farms managed do the maximum 15 weddings allowed per season, that is a mere 4% of the days in the year. There has to be a way to make that minimal impact work for the phenomenal economic return to Deschutes County business's, especially in these economic times.

The outdoor wedding business provides a great deal to the local economy, with very limited impact, as it is mainly on Saturdays for four months of the summer. If the amendment passes as written I understand that the limit would be only 15 weddings per year. If the farms managed do the maximum 1.5 weddings allowed per season, that is a mere 4% of the days in the year. There has to be a way to make that minimal impact work for the phenomenal economic return to Deschutes County business's, especially in these economic times.
