Boggan's Oasis Support Fund

Hello friends and fellow fisherman, As many of you have seen on the news and social media, Boggan's Oasis, on the banks of the Grande Ronde River, burned to the ground in the late night hours this past Saturday. Bill and Farrel Vail have operated the business for the past 34 years. Their hard work and tenacity of keeping Boggan's open has always been evident whether you were just visiting or had known them for years. They have always been there for many us if in need at the bottom of Rattlesnake Grade. Now it is time for us to help them.

 

The great news is that Bill and Farrel are safe and sound. While they were unharmed in the fire, they have lost all their personal belongings, from clothing to computers to medical supplies and everyday incidentals. Due to this unfortunate circumstance, we are fundraising in hopes to cover their immediate needs. There is no donation too small that will help them begin to get their life back in order. We are hoping to raise $5000 or more for anticipated out of pocket costs. If you would like to get in contact with someone about the Vail’s other than financially, please contact: [email redacted]
