Bad Portland Weather Leads To Drop In Harvest Fest Attendance

With the numbers in, they show bad weather in Western Oregon did have an impact on attendance at last weekend’s Hood River Valley Harvest Festival.  Hood River County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Mike Glover says they estimate about 7,500 people attended the festival, down from 10,000 to 11,000 in a good year.  He adds while the weather in Hood River was not nearly as bad as it was in Portland, the storm in the metro area discouraged those who would have traveled here.  Glover did say local participation seemed to hold up, adding he doesn’t think this year’s attendance drop will have an impact on attracting visitors to the festival in the future.
