Fruit Loops:
If a trip to the Hood River Valley’s Fruit Loop is not already on your family
bucket list, it should be. Head out there August 16-17 for the annual Summer
Fruit Celebration, when heirloom Gravenstein apples (the baker’s choice for pies
and applesauce) are just coming into season, late-blooming cherries are ripe for
picking and peaches are at their peak. Fruit stands all along the Fruit Loop are
open, but a few have family-friendly events planned, including pie walks, a corn
maze and treasure hunts at Rasmussen Farms, and visiting the alpaca babies at
Foothills Yarn&Fiber. More info is at www.hoodriverfruitloop.com. FREE, but be
sure to weigh your kids before they start picking.
