Downtown Hood River will be hosting a revitalized First Friday event this coming Friday that will include street closures. Hood River County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Michael Glover says Oak Street between First and Sixth will be closed on Friday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. He says there will be a theme each month for First Friday, starting this week with a “Summer Block Party.” Glover notes they are trying to give more reasons for families and the local community to come to Hood River. Glover says there has been a large amount of enthusiasm and participation from downtown business owners.
