Cherry Fest Parade Success Brings New Issues

Last month’s Northwest Cherry Festival parade in The Dalles was a big success, and one of the longest ever.  But with the growth comes new issues that The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce is working with City officials and the Kiwanis Club to address for future parades.  Chamber CEO Lisa Farquharson says one is space to lineup, and another is to deal with congestion at the starting point of 6th and Webber.  Farquharson said they are making changes to their parade applications to address safety concerns that arose during the Cherry Festival event.  The Chamber takes applications for four parades each year.
