Cherry Fest Provides Challenges In Return

The countdown to the first Northwest Cherry Festival weekend in three years is underway, and for The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce it has featured some challenges in preparation.  Chamber CEO Lisa Farquharson says the biggest challenge has been labor shortages limiting how much businesses can volunteer to help out.  She points out people want the festival to happen, but businesses don’t have the bandwidth to do the different things they have in the past.  Farquharson says they have been figuring out what has to be done to make sure all of elements of the Festival are manned, adding new volunteers have stepped up to help.  A complete Cherry Festival guide is available online at Gorgeradio.com.
