## Resource

Portland’s hosting the USA Fencing Summer Nationals for the first time in nearly 50 years, drawing over 6,000 athletes from age 7 to 89 to compete for national titles in épée, foil, and saber. Beyond the intense bouts, the event embraces Portland’s quirky charm with emotional support llamas and even the Unipiper making appearances.
