The Fruit Company

I was on the verge of reporting nothing.  That’s right, nothing.  After scouring unsuccessfully for exciting Memorial Day weekend community events, I was ready to concede Memorial Day to the quiet background of family picnics, barbecues, camp outs and grave side memorials.  Thankfully, it’s my research skills, not Hood River’s social life that needs some work.

So here they are, Memorial Day happenings in the Hood River Valley.
