It has been 60 years since the sister city relationship was established between two port towns overlooking the North Pacific Ocean: Newport, Oregon, and Mombetsu, Hokkaido, Japan. Community involvement has been essential in keeping the relationship vibrant. This exhibit will feature objects from Mombetsu that were gifted to the City of Newport when this relationship was established along with photographs and information of this historical day.
Thank you to the Rotary Club of Newport for their sponsorship and the City of Newport and City of Mombetsu for their collaboration.
