Canby, OR things to do, shopping and gardening

For a small town, Canby has a lot going on. It's the home of the Clackamas County Fair and Rodeo and the world's largest dahlia supplier and host of the annual Swan Island Dahlia Festival. Those flowers are just one of the many reasons this community, located in the fertile Willamette Valley, is known as "The Garden Spot." Even with the popularity of the area, Canby has managed to hold on to its small town feel.
