Good October For HR Tourism

It was a good October for the tourism business in Hood River coming out of the Eagle Creek Fire.  Hood River County Chamber of Commerce executive director Michael Glover says as soon as Interstate 84 was reopened in both directions in late September, downtown Hood River was as busy as you would expect at this time of year.  Glover does add the fire still hurt the overall season results, with room hotel occupancy down ten to fifteen percent, and retailers taking a heavier hit.  Glover noted both the Hood River Hops Fest and the Harvest Festival once again drew large crowds in October, with Hops Fest attendance up about a thousand from 2016 and Harvest Fest also experiencing a bump.
