PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - This Thanksgiving, Portland businesses made sure people had a warm place to go and a warm meal to eat.

“The idea to try and help each other out is the whole idea of Thanksgiving,” community member Richard Peterson said.

Peterson attended Prost!’s 17th annual free Thanksgiving dinner. He recently moved to the area.

“I don’t really have any place to celebrate yet,” he said, “and so, I just came out here to enjoy. I think it’s a really great idea.”

Over the weekend, Oregon breweries and cidermakers celebrated 30 wins of the prestigious Great American Beer Festival awards.

Oregon breweries took home an impressive haul of medals at this past weekend’s Great American Beer Festival in Denver.

In all, Oregon breweries and cideries took home 29 of the 347 medals handed out at what is widely considered to be the nation’s most preeminent beer festival. To put that another way, more than 8 percent of all available medals were awarded to Oregon, a state with just over 1 percent of America’s total population.
